| Graphical solutions of solving equations |   |
| The equations y=ax2+bx+c and y=dx2+ex+f are displayed. By changing the values of a, b, c, d, e and f, you can make the curves intersect. The x coordinates of the points at which the curves intersect will be solutions to the equation: | |
| ax2+bx+c = dx2+ex+f | |
| How many solutions can such equations have? At most? At least? | |
