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?
Still Need Help?

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.

4

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