To find the number of real solutions, we can use the discriminant formula.


From we can see that , , and


Start with the discriminant formula.


Plug in , , and


Square to get


Multiply to get


Subtract from to get


Since the discriminant is less than zero, this means that there are two complex solutions. In other words, there are no real solutions.
