the system of equations
..............eq.1
..............eq.2
-------------------------------
=>since is a parabola with y-intercept at and has two complex solutions ( and ),
and your is a horizontal line, then for which the system of equations has two solutions could be any number greater than (if , there will be only one solution)
try , and


so, a value for for which the system of equations has solutions are: =,,,........
