When will an equation have no solution?
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is less than zero then it has no solutions.
Why are there usually two solutions in quadratic equations and when do they only have one solution?
If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is greater than zero then it will have two different solutions. If the discriminant is equal to zero then it will have two equal solutions. If the discriminant is less than zero then it will have no real solutions.
If the discriminant of an equation is zero then?
The term "discriminant" is usually used for quadratic equations. If the discriminant is zero, then the equation has exactly one solution.
How do you know if a quadratic equation will have more than one solutions?
Write the quadratic equation in the standard form: ax2 + bx + c = 0 Then calculate the discriminant = b2 - 4ac If the discriminant is greater than zero, there are two distinct real solutions. If the discriminant is zero, there is one real solution. If the discriminany is less than zero, there are no real solutions (there will be two distinct imaginary solutions).
Which of the following systems of equations has no solution?
If they are quadratic equations then if their discriminant is less than zero then they have no solutions
When will an equation have no solution?
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is less than zero then it has no solutions.
How can you have one solution in something that is quadratic?
b^2 - 4ac, the discriminant will tell you that a quadratic equation may have one real solution( discriminant = 0 ) , two real solutions( discriminant > 0 ), or no real solutions( discriminant < 0 ).

Why are there usually two solutions in quadratic equations and when do they only have one solution?
If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is greater than zero then it will have two different solutions. If the discriminant is equal to zero then it will have two equal solutions. If the discriminant is less than zero then it will have no real solutions.
What is the type of the solution determined by?
It depends on the discriminant value of the quadratic equation. If the discriminant is positive, there are two distinct real solutions; if it is zero, there is one real solution; and if it is negative, there are two complex conjugate solutions.
Could you ever have three solutions to a quadratic equation?
No. By definition, a quadratic equation can have at most two solutions. For a quadratic of the form ax^2 + bx + c, when the discriminant of a quadratic, b^2 - 4a*c is positive you have two distinct real solutions. As the discriminant becomes smaller, the two solutions move closer together. When the discriminant becomes zero, the two solutions coincide which may also be considered a quadratic with only one solution. When the discriminant is negative, there are no real solutions but there will be two complex solutions - that is those involving i = sqrt(-1).
What solution does a negative discriminant have?
In basic mathematics, a quadratic equation with a negative discriminant has no solutions. However, at a more advanced level you will learn that it has two solutions which form a complex conjugate pair.
Can a question on my maths have no solution?
Yes depending on the question for instance if the discriminant of a quadratic equation is less than zero then it will have no solutions.
If the discriminant of an equation is zero then?
The term "discriminant" is usually used for quadratic equations. If the discriminant is zero, then the equation has exactly one solution.
What do you find when you determine the discriminant?
Whether or not that there is a solution to a quadratic equation,
Why do quadratic equations where the discriminant is 0 have exactly 1 real solution?
Suppose the quadratic equation is ax^2 + bx + c = 0 and D = b^2 - 4ac is the discriminant. Then the solutions to the quadratic equation are [-b ± sqrt(d)]/(2a). Since D = 0, the both solutions are equal to -b/(2a), a single real solution.
How do you know if a quadratic equation will have more than one solutions?
Write the quadratic equation in the standard form: ax2 + bx + c = 0 Then calculate the discriminant = b2 - 4ac If the discriminant is greater than zero, there are two distinct real solutions. If the discriminant is zero, there is one real solution. If the discriminany is less than zero, there are no real solutions (there will be two distinct imaginary solutions).
