What does it mean if the quadratic equation has no solution?

Generally, when we say a quadratic equation has no solutions, it means that the graph does not cross the x-axis at all.In other words, it means that there are no values for x when y equals 0 (because the line y=0 IS the x-axis.)Hope that helps.Jamz159


How do you solve imaginary equations?

The answer depends on the nature of the equation. Just as there are different ways of solving a linear equation with a real solution and a quadratic equation with real solutions, and other kinds of equations, there are different methods for solving different kinds of imaginary equations.


What is the difference between a polynomial and a quadratic equation?

Oh, dude, it's like this: all quadratic equations are polynomials, but not all polynomials are quadratic equations. A quadratic equation is a specific type of polynomial that has a degree of 2, meaning it has a highest power of x^2. So, like, all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares, you know what I mean?


When solving a radical equation you should first isolate the radical and then?

It often helps to square both sides of the equation (or raise to some other power, such as to the power 3, if it's a cubic root).Please note that doing this may introduce additional solutions, which are not part of the original equation. When you square an equation (or raise it to some other power), you need to check whether any solutions you eventually get are also solutions of the original equation.


What are the applications of quadratic equations in every day life?

Police, Quadratics, Action! If you know the initial speed of car, how far you are travelling and what your acceleration is, there is a special formula that lets you find out how long the journey will take. This formula is a quadratic with time as its unknown quadratic quantity. The police use this equation - along with many other quadratic and non-quadratic equations - when they attend a road traffic accident (RTA). They do this to find out if the driver was breaking the speed limit or driving without due care and attention. They can discover how fast the car was going at the time the driver started braking and how long they were braking for before they had the accident. This is done by finding the road's coefficient of friction and by measuring the length of the skid marks of the vehicles involved. Once they have this information they turn to Mathematics and the trusted quadratic equation. Einstein's Famous Quadratic The most famous equation in the world is technically quadratic. Einstein discovered the formula: Where E is the Energy of an object, m is its mass and c is the speed of light. This formula relates mass and energy and came from Einstein's work on Special and General Relativity. However, in practice it is not solved as a quadratic equation as we know the value of the speed of light. For more information on Einstein and his Theory of Special Relativity see the links at the bottom of the page. There are many more uses for quadratic equations.

What are 2 other names for the solutions of a quadratic function?

Two other names for the solutions of a quadratic function are the "roots" and the "zeros." These terms refer to the values of the variable that make the quadratic equation equal to zero. In graphical terms, they also represent the points where the parabola intersects the x-axis.


If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is less than zero what is true about it?

If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is less than zero, it indicates that the equation has no real solutions. Instead, it has two complex (or imaginary) solutions that are conjugates of each other. This means the parabola represented by the quadratic equation does not intersect the x-axis.


If the discriminant of a quadratic is less than zero which is true of the equation?

If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is less than zero, it indicates that the equation has no real solutions. Instead, it has two complex (or imaginary) solutions that are conjugates of each other. This means the parabola does not intersect the x-axis.


What are other names for solutions of a quadratic?

They are the roots or zeros. They are also the x-intercepts if they are real numbers.


How many solution will there be if the quadratic equation does not touch or cross the x-axis?

0 real solutions. There are other solutions in the complex planes (with i, the imaginary number), but there are no real solutions.


What is the average of the two soultions for the quadratic equation?

Replace the discriminant (the root) in the quadratic formula with zero - that will give you the average. In other words: (average of solutions) = -b/2a.

How do you translate Quadratic equation?

Translate to what? I assume you need help interpreting it. The quadratic equation is used to solve the quadratic polynomial, ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c can be any number. For example, if you need to solve the equation x2 = 5 + 2x, you first convert it into the standard form mentioned above: x2 - 2x - 5 = 0. Now find the coefficients, a, b, and c. In this case, a = 1, b = -2, c = -5. Finally, you replace these coefficients in the quadratic equation. The "plus-minus" sign simply means that the quadratic equation is a shortcut for two equations - one in which you add, the other in which you subtract, the terms at the top. The solutions given by the quadratic equation are values of "x" that satisfy the equation.
