\[\large\rm x^2=-1\]Does this equation have solutions? :o

Directrix (directrix):

Does this equation have one solution: x = 2 + x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large\rm x^2=-1\]We would square root to undo the square on x,\[\large\rm x=\pm \sqrt{-1}\]Hmm we can't take the square root of a negative number :o( uh oh!

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Yah I like Directrix thinking as well :) How bout this equation: \(\large\rm 3x=3x\) How many solutions? infinitely many! :) x=2 x=4 x=5 x=2.317 ...

zepdrix (zepdrix):

An equation _____ has `one` solution.

Directrix (directrix):

>a. always @ayoogorgeous Why "always." @faithdbabygirl Wrong Answer >> >a. always

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

@Directrix has the right idea. That equation `x=2+x` has no solutions, so every equation isn't going to have a solution. Some do, others don't. So it's sometimes. It's kinda similar to saying "all problems have solutions". That's not always true. Some problems can be solved. Others can't be solved.
