Question 910231: find a single value of c so that the equation x squared + 5x + c = has no solutions
Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
, you should equate this to something if you are looking for solutions or "no solutions".

Maybe you wanted, and are asking for what value c will this have no solutions? Why would this equation have no solutions?

.
The equation will have either ONE or TWO solutions.

If you want the equation to have NO REAL SOLUTIONS, then the necessary condition is , in which case, x will contain an imaginary number. You can solve this inequality for c.
