Mark is solving an equation where one side is a quadratic expression and the other side is a linear expression. He sets the expressions equal to y and graphs the equations. What is the greasiest possible number of intersections for these graphs?

Sagot :

The greasiest possible number of intersections for these graphs is 2 if the Mark is solving an equation where one side is a quadratic expression and the other side is a linear expression.

What is a quadratic equation ?

Any equation of the form [tex]\rm ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex] where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called a quadratic equation.

As we know, the formula for the roots of the quadratic equation is given by:

[tex]\rm x = \dfrac{-b \pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

As we know the standard form of a quadratic equation is:

[tex]\rm Y = \rm ax^2+bx+c[/tex]

And a linear equation can be written as:

y = mx + d

Equating both the expression:

ax² + bx + c = mx + d

ax² + (b-m)x + c - d = 0

The above equation is an also quadratic equation, and we know that the quadratic equation have maximum two roots.

Thus, the greasiest possible number of intersections for these graphs is 2 if the Mark is solving an equation where one side is a quadratic expression and the other side is a linear expression.
