  1. See Table C-3, which shows selected values for the functions


y=− 3 x+ 1

and

y= 2 x^2 − 3 x+ 3

There are no real solutions to this system, as we discovered when we worked out Prob. 3
in Chap. 27.


  1. See Fig. C-5. Each horizontal increment is 1 unit. Each vertical increment is 5 units.

  2. See Table C-4, which shows selected values for the functions


y=x^2 +x+ 1
