Help is this 2

What does a "solution" look like when all you have to go by is a graph?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Goes through a point?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

No. You are viewing the graphs of 2 separate functions, represented by graphs. What does "solution" mean in this context?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Umm the solution would solve both the equations and make it true?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

The idea here is to determine how many joint solutions the 2 different functions have. Look at the graphs. In how many places do the curves intersect?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

they dont right?

@mathmale

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

ugh

OpenStudy (mathmale):

On a single set of axes you have the graph of a hyperbola and the graph of an ellipse. These two graphs DO intersect. Your job is to determine IN HOW MANY PLACES they intersect.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

4

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Mind explaining how you decided upon '4?' I see 3 intersections of the two graphs.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

I see the lines being intersected 3 times
