Question

If a system consists only of a linear function and an exponential graph, what is the maximum number of solutions possible of the system?

A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. 3

Answer 1

I did the math problem and got C. 2 and it came out right

Answer 2

C. 2

Explanation:

We are told that a system consists only of a linear function and an exponential graph. We are asked to determine the maximum number of solutions possible of the system.

Since we know that graph of an exponential function is curved. The graph of a linear function is a straight line. So, the solution for our system will be points, where our both functions will meet.

Since a straight line intersects a curved function at maximum two points. Therefore, the maximum number of solutions for our system will have 2 and option C is the correct choice.
