Is it possible for a quadratic equation to have more than 2 solutions?
No because quadratic equations only have 2 X-Intercepts
Can all quadratic equations be solved?
Well, that depends on what you mean "solve by factoring." For any quadratic equation, it is possible to factor the quadratic, and then the roots can be recovered from the factors. So in the very weak sense that every quadratic can be solved by a method that involves getting the factors and recovering the roots from them, all quadratic equations can be solved by factoring. However, in most cases, the only way of factoring the quadratic in the first place is to first find out what its roots are, and then use the roots to factor the quadratic (any quadratic polynomial can be factored as k(x - r)(x - s), where k is the leading coefficient of the polynomial and r and s are its two roots), in which case trying to recover the roots from the factors is redundant (since you had to know what the roots were to get the factors in the first place). So to really count as solving by factoring, it makes sense to require that the solution method obtains the factors by means that _don't_ require already knowing the roots of the polynomial. And in this sense, most quadratic equations are not solvable through factoring.
What is the history of quadratic equations?
at first the first person to solve the quadratic equation is from the middle kingdom of Egypt. Greeks were also able to solve the quadratic equation but that was on the unproper way. Greeks were able to solve the quadratic equation by geometric method or equlid's method. equlid's method contains only three quadratic equation. dipohantus have also solved the quadratic equations but he have solved by giving only two roots any they both were only of positive signs.After that arbhatya also gave the two formulas for quadratic equation but the bentaguptahave only accepted only one of them after theat some of the Indian mathematican have also solved the quadratic equation who gave the proper definations and formula and in this way quadratic equation have been formed.

How do you write a quadratic equation using only solutions 9 and 1?
Solutions: x = 9 and x = 1 Factored: (x-9(x-1) = 0 Equation: x2-10x+9 = 0
How do you solve complex cases of quadratic equations?
If the discriminant - the part under the radical sign in the quadratic formula - is negative, then the result is complex, it is as simple as that. You can't convert a complex number to a real number. If a particular problem requires only real-number solutions, then - if the formula gives complex numbers - you can state that there is no solution.
