Think about all of the ways in which a circle and a parabola can intersect.
1 answer:
There will be four ways a circle and a parabola can intersect because the solution of the quartic equation will be 4.
<h3>What is a circle?</h3>It is described as a set of points, where each point is at the same distance from a fixed point (called the center of a circle)
We have a circle and a parabola:
As we know the standard form of a circle:
The standard form of the parabola:
If we plug the value of y from the parabola equation in the circle equation, we get a quartic equation(4th order equation)
The solution of the quartic equation will be 4.
Thus, there will be four ways a circle and a parabola can intersect because the solution of the quartic equation will be 4.

<h3>1.) Dependent Variable:</h3>- A dependent variable is almost always the
variable. This also means it depends on another variable. The way you can tell it's dependent for this problem is that the per the rule: distance = time. This means that the distance changes based on the time.
So your answer is Distance.
