Consider the two functions as
<span>y1(x) =3x^2 - 5x,
y2(x) = 2x^2 - x - c
The higher the value of c, father apart the two equations will be.
They will touch when the difference, i.e. y1(x)-y2(x)=x^2-4*x+c has a discriminant of 0.
This happens when D=((-4)^2-4c)=0, or when c=4.
(a)
So when c=4, the two equations will barely touch, giving a single solution, or coincident roots.
(b)
when c is greater than 4, the two curves are farther apart, thus there will be no (real) solution.
(c)
when c<4, then the two curves will cross at more than one location, giving two distinct solutions.
It will be more obvious if you plot the two curves in a graphics calculator using c=3,4, and 5.

Answer:
11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the sum
rewrite the fraction
simplify the fraction
Solution 11/12
They can’t be similar. Similar triangles have congruent corresponding angles, and two angles are given on each. Neither of those correspond to another on the opposite triangle. Basically, there’s no way to have three congruent angles, so they aren’t similar.
