Did your explanation include the following?

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.

If we have 2 more blue pens than black pens, our blue pens can be rewritten as blue = 2 + black. Now we can set up an equation. Originally this equation would involve both blue and black, but since we only have 1 equation to set up, we can only have 1 unknown. That's why we base the number of blue pens on the number of black pens and do a substitution. So instead of blue + black = 94, we have (black + 2) + black = 94. That simplifies to 2 black + 2 = 94, and 2 black = 92. Now if we divide by 2, we get that the number of black pens is 46. If we have 2 more blue than black, the number of blue pens we have is 48. 46 + 48 = 94, so there you go!

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}
\\ \quad \\\\

\begin{array}{rllll} 
% left side templates
f(x)=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\

f(x)=&{{ A}}\sqrt{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}

\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}} sin\left({{ B }}x+{{ C}} \right)+{{ D}}
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
% right side info

\bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if }{{ A}}\textit{ is negative}
\\\\
\bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}


\bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ period of }\frac{2\pi }{{{ B}}}
\end{array}$

now, with that template in mind, let's take a peek at this function

$\bf \begin{array}{lllcclll}
y=&2(&1x&-2)^2&-4\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&A&B&C&D
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
A\cdot B=2\impliedby \textit{shrunk by a factor of 2, of half-size}\\\\
\cfrac{C}{B}= \cfrac{-2}{1}\implies -2\impliedby \textit{horizontal right shift of 2 units}\\\\
D=-4\impliedby \textit{vertical down shift of 4 units}$

so, the graph of y=2(x-2)²-4, is really the same graph of y=x², BUT, narrower, and moved about horizontally and vertically

A large company wanted to know how the average salary of their employees had changed over the last year. the results of their study had a p-value of 0.12and showed that the average salary had increased by $1,500 from $20,000 to $21,500. The results were practically significant but not statistically significant.
