Exploring Linear-Quadratic Systems and Their Solutions

This video tutorial explains how to solve a linear quadratic system, which involves finding the intersection points between a line and a parabola. The instructor begins by defining linear quadratic systems and discussing the possible intersection scenarios: two points, one point (tangent), or no intersection. The video then demonstrates solving such systems using substitution, emphasizing the importance of the discriminant to determine the number of solutions. Finally, the instructor calculates the exact intersection points using substitution and factoring methods.
