Can u tell me at how many points these 2 lines intersecting

Mehek (mehek14):

@lilkg77 How many times do the lines intersect?

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

3 times @Mehek14

Mehek (mehek14):

Could you tell me where?

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

-2 , 1.8, 2.1

OpenStudy (scooby6363):

Ah, when Mehek means intersect she is referring to how many times the two parabolas intersect, not how many times the parabolas touch the x-axis. That would be referring to the zeros or the x-intercept of the equation.

Mehek (mehek14):

@lilkg77 That's not what I meant :P I meant where the blue cuts the red

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

Oh lol sorry

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

-7?

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

Well for x it would be -1

Mehek (mehek14):

any others? or only 1?

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

only 1

Mehek (mehek14):

that's the answer :)
