<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • y = x intersects at 2 points
  • y = -2x-1 intersects at 1 point
  • y = x-2 intersects at 0 points
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Any line with a y-intercept greater than 0 will intersect y = x² at two points, as will any line with a non-zero slope and a y-intercept of zero. I have chosen the line y = x to answer this question.

Any tangent line will intersect y = x² at one point. A tangent line will have slope 2x at the point (x, x²). Here, we have chosen to write the equation for the tangent at (x, y) = (-1, 1). That line has equation y = -2x-1.

Any line with a negative y-intercept and a sufficiently small slope will not intersect the curve y = x². (The slope needs to have a magnitude less than double the magnitude of the y-intercept.) Here, we have chosen a line with slope 1 and y-intercept -2: y = x-2.

2|x-6|+14=38
\rightarrow2|x-6|=24
\rightarrow|x-6|=12

There are two cases:
1. x-6=12\rightarrow x=18
2. x-6=-12\rightarrow x=-6

So the minimum temperature is -6, and the maximum is 18.
