Answer:
To find the number of genuine solutions for a system of equations consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation
1) With two variables, say x and y, rearrange the linear equation to express y, then substitute this y in the quadratic equation
After that, simplify the resulting equation and determine the number of real roots utilizing the quadratic formula,
for equations of the type 0 = a·x² - b·x + c.
When b² exceeds 4·a·c, two real solutions emerge; if b² equals 4·a·c, there will be a single solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Response:
The goat population will reach 1000 in a time span of 12.4 years
Detailed explanation:
After t years, the population of goats is described by

where
indicates the initial count of goats and b is the growth rate per capita.
Based on the problem,
- b = 0.5
- N = 1000
