1

Understand the problem

x2+9=0 x^2+9=0

Solve the equation

2

Step-by-step solution

The parameters are expressed in the quadratic equation as follows:

aX2+bX+c=0

We identify that we have:
a=1
b=0
c=9

We recall the root formula:

Roots formula | The version

We replace according to the formula:

-0 ± √(0²-4*1*9)

2

We will focus on the part inside the square root (also called delta)

√(0-4*1*9)

√(0-36)

√-36

It is not possible to take the square root of a negative number.

And so the question has no solution.
