Best Answer

There are two types of numbers. The real number system that we use everyday for counting and money and such.

There is also the imaginary or complex number system that is used to help evaluate the square roots of negative numbers.

A 'real solution' generally means that the solution is one from the real number system.

When solving an equation (especially at lower grade levels) the answer might be that there are no real solutions. However there might be complex solutions to the problem.

What is the discriminant and how is it used to solve equations using the quadratic formula?

It is not to solve so much as to see the number of solutions and whether there is a real solution to the equation. b2 - 4(a)(c) A positive answer = two real solutions. A negative answer = no real solution ( complex solution i ) If zero as the answer there is one real solution.


When real numbers fails to provide solution?

When real numbers fail to provide a solution there is no real solution - its as simple as that! There is no integer solution for 2x = 3. To find a solution you need to extend the domain to rational numbers. There is no rational number solution to x^2 = 2, so you need to extend to the real numbers. For some equations that do not have a real solution, for example, x^2 + 1 = 0, there are solutions if the domain is extended to the complex field. x + 2 = x - 2 has no real solution nor a complex solution. However, it does have a solution in modulo 4 arithmetic. But in that case the original equation should have said so. When seeking a solution to an equation, it is customary to define the domain in which the answer (if any) may be found. - unless the context makes the domain clear.
