Consider the system of quadratic equations \begin{align*} y &=3x^2 - 5x, \\ y &= 2x^2 - x - c, \end{align*}where $c$ is

a real number. (a) For what value(s) of $c$ will the system have exactly one solution $(x,y)?$ (b) For what value(s) of $c$ will the system have more than one real solution? (c) For what value(s) of $c$ will the system have no real solutions? Solutions to the quadratics are $(x,y)$ pairs. Your answers will be in terms of $c,$ but make sure you address both $x$ and $y$ for each part.

Hello, we need to solve this system, c being a real number.

\begin{cases}y &= 3x^2-5x\\y &= 2x^2-x-c\end{cases}

y=y, right? So, it comes.

3x^2-5x=2x^2-x-c\\\\3x^2-2x^2-5x+x+c=0\\\\\boxed{x^2-4x+c=0}

We can compute the discriminant.

\Delta=b^2-4ac=4^2-4c=4(4-c)

If the discriminant is 0, there is 1 solution.

It means for 4(4-c)=0  4-c=0  \boxed{c=4}

And the solution is

x_2=x_1=\dfrac{4}{2}=2

If the discriminant is > 0, there are 2 real solutions.

It means 4(4-c) > 0 <=> 4-c > 0 <=> \boxed{c

And the solution are

x_1=\dfrac{4-\sqrt{4(4-c)}}{2}=\dfrac{4-2\sqrt{4-c}}{2}=2-\sqrt{4-c}\\\\x_2=2+\sqrt{4-c}

If the discriminant is < 0, there are no real solutions.

It means 4(4-c) < 0 <=> 4-c < 0 <=> \boxed{c>4}

There are no real solutions and the complex solutions are

x_1=\dfrac{4-\sqrt{4(4-c)}}{2}=\dfrac{4-2\sqrt{i^2(c-4)}}{2}=2-\sqrt{c-4}\cdot i\\\\x_2=2+\sqrt{c-4}\cdot i

Thank you.

/: I am at home.
Masja [62]
This is a Logic Problem. So we need to use operators to solve this problem. There are several operators in logic. Operators can be <em>monadic</em> or <em>dyadic</em>. A monadic operator operates on a single simple statement. Other operators will all be dyadic operators <span>because they operate on two simple statements. So in this problem we have the following operators:
</span>
1. The negation operator:

<u>Symbol:</u> ~
<u>Symbol name:</u> Tilde
<u>Parts of negation</u><span><u>:</u> A simple statement with a tilde preceding it</span>

2. Conjunction:

<u>Symbol:</u> &
<u>Symbol name:</u> Ampersand
<u>Parts of conjunction:</u> <span>Two simple statements joined by the conjunction symbol. 
</span>
So we can name the statements as follows:

A: I am at home
B: I am playing video games

So the translations is as follows:

~(A&B) = It is not the case that I am at home and am playing video games
