It depends on the type of problem you are talking about. For example, in problems just concerning numbers and no units or words, negatives would make sense and could be logical. However, in word problems, it would obviously be illogical and absurd to answer -5 when asked, per se, how many miles Johnny has walked, or how many Oranges Suzie has.

Can dissolved oxygen value be a negative value?

No, dissolved oxygen values cannot be negative. Dissolved oxygen levels in water are typically measured in milligrams per liter (mg/L) or parts per million (ppm) and will always be a positive value. Negative values would not make physical sense in this context.


What does a non-real solution suggest when using the quadratic equation?

That really depends on the situation. Just as there are cases where fractional numbers make sense and others where they don't, and just as there are cases where negative numbers make sense and others where they dont, likewise, there are situations in which complex numbers (with an imaginary part) make sense, and others in which they don't. In many practical cases they don't make sense; in this case, the non-real solution is an indication that there is no practical solution. Example: Use the quadratic formula to determine at what time an object, thrown upwards, will reach a certain height. If you get a complex solution (the discriminant is negative), this means the object will NEVER reach the specified height; it will fall back down before it reaches the desired height. In this case, the variable "time" can only have real values - imaginary values don't make physical sense. However, please note that there are also situations in which complex numbers DO make sense.


What are the potential drawbacks or limitations of using a graph with negative values in data visualization?

Using a graph with negative values in data visualization can make it harder to interpret the data accurately. Negative values may distort the scale of the graph and make it challenging to compare different data points effectively. Additionally, negative values can sometimes be misleading or confusing for viewers, leading to misinterpretation of the data.
