Consider the two functions as
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:

$H_{0}: \mu= 185$ and $H_{a}: \mu > 185$

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis $H_{0}$ states that a population parameter (such as the mean, the standard deviation, and so on) is equal to a hypothesized value. We can write the null hypothesis in the form $H_{0}: parameter = value$

In this context, the investigator's null hypothesis should be that the average total weight is no different than the reported value by the FAA. We can write it in this form $H_{0}: \mu= 185$ .

The alternative hypothesis $H_{a}$ states that a population parameter is smaller, greater, or different than the hypothesized value in the null hypothesis. We can write the alternative hypothesis in one of three forms

$H_{a}: parameter > value\\H_{a}: parameter < value\\H_{a}: parameter \neq value$

The investigator wants to know if the average weight of passengers flying on small planes exceeds the FAA guideline of the average total weight of 185 pounds. He should use $H_{a}: \mu > 185$ as his alternative hypothesis.
