How many solutions does the system have? y=−2x+1 y=−2x^2+1

The system has two distinct solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations are:

and

In order to determine the number of solutions the two equations have, we need to equate the two equations to obtain,

We now group all terms on the left hand side and equate everything to zero.

This is now a quadratic equation in with .

At this stage we check the number of solutions using the discriminant.

Since the discriminant is greater than zero, the equation will have two distinct roots.

Therefore the system of equations has exactly two distinct solutions.

If you wish to see these solutions, you can continue as follows;

We factor to obtain,

When

Then we have,

When

Then we have,

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
