Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The graph of a system of parallel lines will have no solutions. </u>
Because they will never intersect, having same slopes.
=========================
<u>The graph of a system of equations with different slopes will have no solutions. </u>
Because they will intersect exactly once, having different slopes.

Answer:
The number of elephant ears that must be sold to maximize profit is 400.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The profit that a vendor makes per day is given by
P(x)= - 0.004x² +3.2 x -200
where x is number of elephant ears.
P(x)= - 0.004x² +3.2 x -200
Differentiating with respect to x
P'(x)= - 0.008x+3.2
Again differentiating with respect to x
P''(x) = -0.008
For maximum or minimum P'(x)=0
- 0.008x+3.2=0
⇒0.008x=3.2

⇒ x = 400

Since at x=400, P''(x)<0, the profit is maximize.
P(400) = -0.004×400²+3.2×400-200
=440
The number of elephant ears that must be sold to maximize profit is 400.
