Tiffany is solving an equation where both sides are quadratic expressions. She sets each quadratic equation equal to y and graphs the resulting system. If the graph of one quadratic opens upward and the other opens downward, what is the greatest possible number of intersections for these graphs?

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 possibilities for the graph as shown in the figure.

(a) having zero intersection

(b) having one intersection point (touching point)

(c) having two intersection points.

So, the greatest possible number of intersections for these graphs is 2 as shown in figure (c).

1/3

step-by-step explanation:

to find this, you can divide 12 by 4 which is 3 or you can multiply 4 until you reach 12 (4x3=12). both should give you 3, meaning theres three times less bananas than there are oranges.

step-by-step explanation:

if the four friends split the cost, p, of the pizza evenly, then each friend pays one-fourth of the cost of the pizza.
