Question

Your favorite math magazine has recently published an article on their website about whether solving systems of non-linear equations is easier by graphing or algebraically.

You decide to write an email to the editor of the math magazine defending your opinion.

Your email must be two to four paragraphs in length.
You must express your opinion on which method is easiest.
Provide at least three pieces of supporting evidence.
Provide an additional graph of a system of non-linear equations that supports your viewpoint.

Do you need help understanding this or help doing this?

Answer 6

I need help with the 3 bullet point.. So like an example on how to do it would be nice

Answer 7

Would u like to see what i have so far

Answer 8

Sure

Answer 9

When you're graphing two lines, you may think you see the exact point at which the lines intersect, but your eye is fallible. What may look like the point (5,16) may actually be (5.05, √254). Also, two graphs may look like they don't intersect, but if you extended the graph, you may see the point(s) of intersection. Additionally, your ruler may slip when you're drawing the parabola through points (2,7) and (-10, 3) so that it's just tenths of a degree off from the real line.
Whenever you graph, you're only getting an approximation. It's better to use algebraic methods, because ordinal numbers are always intended to be precise. All you have to do is add, subtract, divide, and multiply. 8-5 will always be 3. Never 3.005, never √8.75

Answer 10

that look good.

Answer 11

Ok.. and what should I write as my 3 points of evidence ? @TQKMB

Answer 12

I'm not sure.

Answer 15

After all it is your opinion, and you're opinion must be founded in your beliefs. You must express your opinion which method is the easiest and why.

you need to supply a graph of a system on non-linear equations that will support your viewpoint (opinion).

Answer 16

You have already stated you think the algebraic methods is more accurate due to the deficiencies in the construction a a graph along with the resolution of reading a graph, I think that is two supporting points, they want three. You need to provide one more supporting point.
