Chapter ISG, Problem 9.7.3P

To determine

To solve system graphically.

Answer to Problem 9.7.3P

No solution

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $y=-x^2-5x-6$

  $y=3x-1$

Calculation:

  $y=-x^2-5x-6$

  $a=-1$

  $b=-5$

  $c=-6$

Central value

  $x=\frac{-b}{2a}$

Put value of a and b

  $x=\frac{-(-5)}{2(-1)}=-2.5$
