<span>
"For which value of k does the system have one real number solution?"
</span>The answer is -0.25, because the linear line because tangent with the parent function.


<span>"For which value of k does the system have two real number solutions?"
</span>The answer is 2, because the linear function intercepts the parent function 2 times.

Which list of numbers is ordered from greatest to least?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:
