Section Exercises

1. Explain whether a system of two nonlinear equations can have exactly two solutions. What about exactly three? If not, explain why not. If so, give an example of such a system, in graph form, and explain why your choice gives two or three answers. 2. When graphing an inequality, explain why we only need to test one point to determine whether an entire region is the solution? 3. When you graph a system of inequalities, will there always be a feasible region? If so, explain why. If not, give an example of a graph of inequalities that does not have a feasible region. Why does it not have a feasible region? 4. If you graph a revenue and cost function, explain how to determine in what regions there is profit. 5. If you perform your break-even analysis and there is more than one solution, explain how you would determine which x-values are profit and which are not.
