-- If the equation has only one variable (like 'x' or 'y'), and the only power of the
variable anywhere in the equation is '1', then the equation has one solution.
-- If the variable appears raised to powers higher than '1', then there are as many
solutions as the highest power of the variable.
-- If the equation has two or more variables, then there are an infinite number of solutions.

What is true of an equation if its discriminant is zero?
it has one real solution
True or false In a nonlinear equation each variable must only have one solution?
In a nonlinear equation, each variable must only have one solution.
What does it mean to be a solution to an equation?
A solution to an equation is a set of values for the variables in the equation which make it true.
How do you know if a value a is a solution to an equation?
If this value a satisfy the equation, then a is a solution for that equation. ( or we can say that for the value a the equation is true)
In a nonlinear equation each variable can have more than one solution?
True
What is A number that makes a equation true?
The solution set is the answers that make an equation true. So I would call it the solution.
What is the number that can replace a variable in an equation to make it a true equation?
The number that can replace a variable in an equation to make it a true equation is called the solution or root of the equation. This number satisfies the equation when substituted for the variable. In algebra, finding the solution involves solving for the variable by performing various operations to isolate it on one side of the equation. The solution is the value that balances both sides of the equation, making it true.
A value that makes an equation true?
Any number that makes an equation true is a 'solution of an equation'. it is a solution
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation equals zero what is true of the equation?
It has one real solution.
What is true of an equation if its discriminant is zero?
it has one real solution
A number that makes an equation true?
A number that makes an equation true is a solution. If there is more than one answer to an equation (such as an equation like): (x-2)(x+4)=0 then it is called a solution set (and in this case would be x={-4, 2}).
If the discriminant of an equation is positive.What is true of the equation?
The equation has two real solutions.
True or false In a nonlinear equation each variable must only have one solution?
In a nonlinear equation, each variable must only have one solution.
What does it mean to be a solution to an equation?
A solution to an equation is a set of values for the variables in the equation which make it true.
What is the value of a variable that makes an equation true?
That's the "solution" of the equation.
How do you know if a value a is a solution to an equation?
If this value a satisfy the equation, then a is a solution for that equation. ( or we can say that for the value a the equation is true)
Number that makes an equation true?
A number that makes an equation true is its solution.
