To determine: The description of the possible solutions of a system consisting of two
Answer to Problem 1E
The possible solutions of a system consisting of two quadratic equations may be 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Explanation of Solution
The graphs of two quadratic equations in different ways are shown below:
Graph 1:
In the above graph, it is seen that the two equations have not intersected each other at any point. This means the system of equations have no solution.
Graph 2:
In the above graph it is seen that two equations intersect each other at only one point. This means the system of equations has only one solution.
Graph 3:
In the above graph it is seen that the two equations have intersected each other at two points. This means the system of equations has 2 solutions.
Graph 4:
In the above graph, it is seen that the two equations have intersected each other at three points. This means the system of equations has 3 solutions.
Graph 5:
In the above graph, it is seen that the two equations have intersected each other at four points. This means the system of equations has 4 solutions.
Hence, the possible solutions of a system consisting of two quadratic equations may be 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4.
