Some polynomial equations have complex solutions.

Therefore, complex solutions cannot be found by graphing the related system or function in the Cartesian (x-y) plane.

Polynomial functions with all complex solutions do not have x-intercepts, and the related system of equations will not intersect.

Let's put it this way: If you plot a few non-x-intercept points and then draw a curvy line through them,you will not know if you got the x-intercepts even close to being correct. <span>The only way you can be sure of your x-intercepts is to set the quadratic equal to zero and solve. So its a matter of guessing from the pictures. Basicaly said, the calculator won't give you the exact result.</span>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope m = 2

The point is (0,3)

x1 = 0 and y1 = 3

And y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = 2(x - 0)

y - 3 = 2x

y = 2x + 3 this is the equation

Events A and B are independent if the following holds true:

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) * P(B)

where P(A ∩ B) is the probability of A and B, P(A) is the probability of A, and P(B) is the probability of B.

Setting A = "snow" and B = "cold weather", and plugging in the above numbers will give you the answer.
