Which system of equations can be graphed to find the solution(s) to 4x2 = x2 - 7?
Solution:
The system of equations which can be graphed to find the solution to 4x2 = x2 - 7 are the following:
f(x) = 4x2 --- (1) and
g(x) = x2 - 7 --- (2)
The solutions to the above can be examined by drawing their respective graphs which have been presented below:
It is apparent that the two graphs are not intersecting and hence have no common solutions.
Algebraically also if we solve the two equations we get :
⇒ 4x2 = x2 - 7
⇒ 3x2 = -7
⇒ x = i√7/3 which is an imaginary solution
Which system of equations can be graphed to find the solution(s) to 4x2 = x2 - 7?
Summary:
The solution(s) to 4x2 = x2 - 7 do not exist which is apparent from the graphs plotted for the two curves 4x2 and x2 - 7.
