Question

What is the difference between saying undefined or no solution?

Answer 1

Undefined means that there is no such value for the given function.

No Solution means that two or more functions exist, but they don't have a common value or point associated with them

Answer 2

Something like that

Answer 3

could you give me an example of something that has no solution

Answer 4

two parallel lines have no common point associated with them

Answer 5

y = 2x + 3
y = 2x + 5

Answer 6

0/2 = no solution
2/0 = undefined

Answer 7

Okay, I understand now. I cannot believe I did not know this and I am in Calculus. Thank you so much for clearing that up.

Answer 8

find all real solutions to

\[x^2+1=0\]

Answer 9

If you set them equal to each other and tried to solve for x, you would get no solution:

2x+ 5 = 2x+ 3

0 = 2

Since zero can't equal 2, then no solution

Answer 10

@DoodleTech


If you have 2x=0, then the solution is x = 0/2 = 0, or simply x = 0


So your first example is a solution (instead of "no solution")

Answer 11

Thanks everybody, this is helpful
