Solutions to Try Its

1. (−12,12)\left(-\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2}\right) and (2,8)\left(2,8\right) 2. (−1,3)\left(-1,3\right) 3. {(1,3),(1,−3),(−1,3),(−1,−3)}\left\{\left(1,3\right),\left(1,-3\right),\left(-1,3\right),\left(-1,-3\right)\right\} 4. Shade the area bounded by the two curves, above the quadratic and below the line. A line intersecting a parabola at the points negative one, zero and two, three. The region under the line but above the parabola is shaded.

Solutions to Odd-Numbered Exercises

1. A nonlinear system could be representative of two circles that overlap and intersect in two locations, hence two solutions. A nonlinear system could be representative of a parabola and a circle, where the vertex of the parabola meets the circle and the branches also intersect the circle, hence three solutions. 3. No. There does not need to be a feasible region. Consider a system that is bounded by two parallel lines. One inequality represents the region above the upper line; the other represents the region below the lower line. In this case, no points in the plane are located in both regions; hence there is no feasible region. 5. Choose any number between each solution and plug into C(x)C\left(x\right) and R(x)R\left(x\right). If C(x)<R(x),C\left(x\right)<R\left(x\right),\text{} then there is profit. 7. (0,−3),(3,0)\left(0,-3\right),\left(3,0\right) 9. (−322,322),(322,−322)\left(-\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2},\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}\right),\left(\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2},-\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) 11. (−3,0),(3,0)\left(-3,0\right),\left(3,0\right) 13. (14,−628),(14,628)\left(\frac{1}{4},-\frac{\sqrt{62}}{8}\right),\left(\frac{1}{4},\frac{\sqrt{62}}{8}\right) 15. (−3984,1994),(3984,1994)\left(-\frac{\sqrt{398}}{4},\frac{199}{4}\right),\left(\frac{\sqrt{398}}{4},\frac{199}{4}\right) 17. (0,2),(1,3)\left(0,2\right),\left(1,3\right) 19. (−12(5−1),12(1−5)),(12(5−1),12(1−5))\left(-\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}\left(\sqrt{5}-1\right)},\frac{1}{2}\left(1-\sqrt{5}\right)\right),\left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}\left(\sqrt{5}-1\right)},\frac{1}{2}\left(1-\sqrt{5}\right)\right) 21. (5,0)\left(5,0\right) 23. (0,0)\left(0,0\right) 25. (3,0)\left(3,0\right) 27. No Solutions Exist 29. No Solutions Exist 31. (−22,−22),(−22,22),(22,−22),(22,22)\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2},-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right),\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right),\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2},-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right),\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) 33. (2,0)\left(2,0\right) 35. (−7,−3),(−7,3),(7,−3),(7,3)\left(-\sqrt{7},-3\right),\left(-\sqrt{7},3\right),\left(\sqrt{7},-3\right),\left(\sqrt{7},3\right) 37. (−12(73−5),12(7−73)),(12(73−5),12(7−73))\left(-\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}\left(\sqrt{73}-5\right)},\frac{1}{2}\left(7-\sqrt{73}\right)\right),\left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}\left(\sqrt{73}-5\right)},\frac{1}{2}\left(7-\sqrt{73}\right)\right) 39.
