Astudent claims that a linear-quadratic system of equations has three solutions. explain the error the student made.

Step-by-step explanation:

A line and a quadratic (parabola) can have either 0, 1, or 2 solutions.

0 solutions: the line and quadratic do not intersect.1 solution: the line and quadratic are tangent (intersect at one point), or the line is the axis of symmetry (intersects only at the vertex).2 solutions: the line and quadratic intersect at two points.

It is impossible for a linear-quadratic system to have more than 2 solutions.

The answer is -1/36
