x2 - 25 = 0 is x2 = 25 thus x = 5 or x = -5, only 2 real solutions
A quadratic equation always has TWO (2) solutions. They may be different, the same, or non-existant as real numbers (ie they only exist as complex numbers).
It depends on the equation. Also, the domain must be such that is supports an infinite number of solutions. A quadratic equation, for example, has no real solution if its discriminant is negative. It cannot have an infinite number of solutions. Many trigonometric equations are periodic and consequently have an infinite number of solutions - provided the domain is also infinite. A function defined as follows: f(x) = 1 if x is real f(x) = 0 if x is not real has no real solutions but an infinite number of solutions in complex numbers.
C
Assuming a, b, and c are real numbers, there are three possibilities for the solutions, depending on whether the discriminant - the square root part in the quadratic formula - is positive, zero, or negative:Two real solutionsOne ("double") real solutionTwo complex solutions
They will have 2 different solutions or 2 equal solutions and some times none depending on the value of the discriminant within the quadratic equation
apex- real
The complex roots of an equation is any solution to that equation which cannot be expressed in terms of real numbers. For example, the equation 0 = x² + 5 does not have any solution in real numbers. But in complex numbers, it has solutions.
A quadratic equation always has TWO (2) solutions. They may be different, the same, or non-existant as real numbers (ie they only exist as complex numbers).
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is negative, it indicates that the equation has no real solutions. Instead, it has two complex conjugate solutions. This occurs because the square root of a negative number is imaginary, leading to solutions that involve imaginary numbers.
It has two complex solutions.
A quadratic equation can have two real solutions, one real solution, or two complex solutions, none of them real.

imaginary
If the highest degree of an equation is 3, then the equation must have 3 solutions. Solutions can be: 1) 3 real solutions 2) one real and two imaginary solutions.
Yes, a cubic equation can have three imaginary solutions, but this occurs only when all the roots are complex. For a cubic equation with real coefficients, if it has one real root, the other two roots must be complex conjugates, resulting in one real and two imaginary solutions. However, if the cubic has no real roots, it can have three distinct complex roots, all of which would be imaginary.
0 real solutions. There are other solutions in the complex planes (with i, the imaginary number), but there are no real solutions.
They were discovered when Cardano solved the third degree equation. In the formulas that arose to solve the third degree equation, Cardano needed to take the square root of negative numbers and add them up in a certain way. The strange thing that happened was that the formulas used these complex numbers, even if the solutions to the equation where all real. This baffled the mathematicians of the time, because how could these strange numbers turn out to be "real"? Later this was considered totally correct, when the field of complex numbers was better undestood.
