Answer:
greatest number of solutions is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
one is a parabola, the other is a line
so it can intersect in 0, 1, 2 points
Y = - x^2
y = -x - 2
assume that there exist a point (x,y) at which the two equations are equal so
- x^2 = -x - 2
x^2 - x - 2= 0
(x-2) ( x + 1 ) = 0
x = 2 , - 1
The given equation is :
Divide both sides by 5
Add 0.3 to both sides.
Multiply a on both sides.
Hence ... Answer
