You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the system of equations \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+x%5E2+%2B+1\" ..............eq.1
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+b\"..............eq.2
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "=>since \"y+=+x%5E2+%2B+1\" is a parabola with y-intercept at \"y=1\" and has two complex solutions (\"i\" and \"-i\"),
\n" ); document.write( "and your \"y+=+b\" is a horizontal line, then \"b\" for which the system of equations has two solutions could be any number greater than \"1\"(if \"b=1\", there will be only one solution) \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "try \"b=1\",\"b=2\" and \"b=5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-5%2C+5%2C+-5%2C+10%2C+x%5E2+%2B+1%2C1%2C2%2C5%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, a value for \"b\" for which the system of equations has \"two\" solutions are: \"b\"=\"2\",\"3\",\"4\",........\r
