Two graph never intersect. As such, the equation has no solutions.
Create an equation where the left side is a linear function and the right side is a square root function. Make it so that the equation has exactly one solution.
try y = ?x and y = (1/4)x + 1

To create an equation where the left side is a linear function and the right side is a square root function, we can start by considering the general form of a linear function: y = mx + b, where "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept.
Similarly, the general form of a square root function is y = √(ax + b), where "a" determines the stretching or shrinking of the function and "b" determines the horizontal shift.
To ensure that the equation has exactly one solution, we need to find the values of m, a, and b that allow the two graphs to intersect at only one point.
Let's consider the following equation:
y = 2x + 4
y = √x + 1
To find the solution, we need to find the point at which these two equations intersect. Let's set them equal to each other:
2x + 4 = √x + 1
To solve for x, we'll isolate the square root term:
√x = 2x + 3
Now, to eliminate the square root, we'll square both sides:
(√x)^2 = (2x + 3)^2
Simplifying:
x = 4x^2 + 12x + 9
Rearranging the terms:
4x^2 + 11x + 9 = 0
We now have a quadratic equation. To ensure that it has exactly one solution, we need to set its discriminant to zero:
b^2 - 4ac = 0
In this equation, "a" represents the coefficient of x^2 (4), "b" represents the coefficient of x (11), and "c" represents the constant term (9).
(11)^2 - 4(4)(9) = 0
121 - 144 = -23
Since the discriminant is negative (-23), the quadratic equation has no real solutions. Therefore, the original equations y = 2x + 4 and y = √x + 1 do not intersect at exactly one point.
To create an equation with exactly one solution, we need to adjust the coefficients and constants accordingly, such that the discriminant will be zero when solving the quadratic equation.
