true
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
depends on the system, if it's linear, then it's impossible
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
if it's nonlinear, then it's possible (depending on the conditions)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yup you go smart people!
OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what kind of system is it? linear?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
if so, then imagine 2 straight lines
they can't cross each other exactly twice
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so that's why you can't have exactly 2 solutions in a linear system
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its non linear
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ok then it's possible to have 2 solutions

imagine a line intersecting a parabola twice
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hah thus why i said yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i know smart!
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
lol you must be a mind reader cause it all hinged on the type of system
OpenStudy (anonymous):
