Answer

$(0, 0)$ $(1, -1)$ $(-2, -4)$

Work Step by Step

Given the system of equations: 1. $x^2 + y = 0$ 2. $x^3 - 2x - y = 0$ It asks to find all solutions. Add equation one and equation two $x^2 + y = 0$ + ($x^3 - 2x - y = 0$) $x^3 + x^2 - 2x = 0$ $x(x^2 + x - 2) = 0$ $x(x+2)(x-1) = 0$ $x = 0, 1, -2$ Substitute the values into the equation $0^2 + y = 0$ $y = 0$ $1^2 + y = 0$ $y = -1 $ $(-2)^2 + y = 0$ $y = -4$ All solutions: $(0, 0)$ $(1, -1)$ $(-2, -4)$
