: I need help with this problem also. Let me know if I am on the right track.
Thank you in advance. i can get started but I can't finish and we must show our work. I know the answer but I can't explain to my professor how I got there?We must type our work in this online class. Is there software i can get to use the real math symbols?

x^2 - 4x + 5=0
a=1 b=-4 c=5

3.What type of solution do you get for quadratic equations where D < 0? Give reasons for your answer. Also provide an example of such a quadratic equation and find the solution of the equation.

x^2-4x+5=0

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)

Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

The discriminant -4 is less than zero. That means that there are no solutions among real numbers.

If you are a student of advanced school algebra and are aware about imaginary numbers, read on.

In the field of imaginary numbers, the square root of -4 is + or - .

The solution is , or
Here's your graph:
