(These questions are the ones i got wrong on my test I need someone to help me answer them please.) What are the solutions of the system? Using a graphing calculator. y=x^2+4.6x+4.7 y=3.3x-3.7 A. (-3.47,3.48) and (2.17, -15.17) C. (-3.47, -15.17) and (2.17,3.48) D. No solution
you can use a graphing calculator?
yes but i dont have one and the ones on the internet dont help
if you have access to the internet you can use wolfram alpha: http://www.wolframalpha.com/ http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=plot%20y%3Dx%5E2%2B4.6x%2B4.7%2C%20y%3D3.3x-3.7%20&t=crmtb01
like i dont know how to put it in the calculator
that depends on the calculator I suppose I wouldn't know really how to use them, I use wolfram usually notice all I did was put "plot" with the equations separated by a comma and you can see them drawn out do they intersect?
ok i got that part but how do i get the answer
what does it mean graphically to solve the system? -it means finding the intersection of the two graphs no calculator is really required x^2+4.6x+4.7=3.3x-3.7 x^2+1.3x+8.4=0 now find the discriminant of this quadratic; if it is negative that means the equation has two complex roots, so there are no real intersections...
if there were real solutions to this equation you would plug in the answers you get for x into each equation and get a set of ordered pairs
well I think it is no solution but im not really sure and thats what i was thinking bout the calculator it makes no since
\[ax^2+bx+c=0\implies x={-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}\over2a}\]the discriminant is\[b^2-4ac\]when it is >0 there are two distinct real roots when it =0 there is a double real root when it is <0 it is two complex roots
if you can graph it the image is enough to see that they do not intersect since the vertex of the quadratic does not go below the line
so is the answer no solution
right
ok thank you so much you really helped me
no problem :)
maybe you can help witht he next one im about to post
*the
maybe, but I'm doing a few things at once please post separately each problem, many others can help you I promise
