What does it mean for a quadratic equation to have no real solutions?

Back

A quadratic equation has no real solutions when the discriminant (b^2 - 4ac) is less than zero, indicating that the parabola does not intersect the x-axis.

Front

How do you determine if a system of equations has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions?

Back

A system has one solution if the lines intersect at one point, no solution if the lines are parallel, and infinitely many solutions if the lines coincide.
