Answer:
1 solution
Step-by-step explanation:
It's only 1, because the two lines intersect in one spot only.

Answer: 1</h3>
Point B is the only relative minimum here.
===========================================================
Explanation:
A relative minimum is a valley point, or lowest point, in a given neighborhood. Points to the left and right of the valley point must be larger than the relative min (or else you'd have some other lower point to negate its relative min-ness).
Point B is the only point that fits the description mentioned in the first paragraph. For a certain neighborhood, B is the lowest valley point so that's why we have a relative min here.
There's only 1 such valley point in this graph.

Side notes:
- Points A and D are relative maximums since they are the highest point in their respective regions. They represent the highest peaks of their corresponding mountains.
- Points A, C and E are x intercepts or roots. This is where the graph either touches the x axis or crosses the x axis.
- The phrasing "a certain neighborhood" is admittedly vague. It depends on further context of the problem. There are multiple ways to set up a region or interval of points to consider. Though visually you can probably spot a relative min fairly quickly by just looking at the valley points.
- If you have a possible relative min, look directly to the left and right of this point. if you can find a lower point, then the candidate point is <u>not</u> a relative min.
The solution (x,y) needs to work in both equations. With multiple choice you can do guess and test method. Otherwise you need to combine the two equations into one by substitution or elimination methods.
21. substitution works well here since one equation is y= x+3. you can easily substitute the (x+3) for y in the other equation.
2x + (x+3) = -6
3x + 3 = -6
3x = -9
x = -3
use this in either equation to find y.
y = (-3)+3
solution: (-3,0)
22. these both equal y so they equal each other.
4x - 1 = 3x +6
4x - 3x = 6 + 1
x = 7
use this in either equation to find y
y = 4(7) - 1
y = 28 - 1
y = 27
solution: (7,27)
23. one equation is y = 2x - 3. So substitute (2x -3) for y in the other equation.
4x = 2(2x - 3) + 6
4x = 4x - 6 + 6
4x = 4x
x = x
any solution will work, infinitely many.
24. infinitely many solutions means the two equations are the same equation. Like the previous one they didn't look the same but if you put them both in terms of y...
y= 2x-3
4x = 2y + 6
4x - 6 = 2y
(4x - 6)/2 = y
2x - 3 = y
same equation.
from the image, I can't see all options but A & C do not look like the same equations. It's got to be either B or D.
Answer:
A is correct, 7 units. Hope this helps! :)
