You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The problem you stated is not completely clear. I think you meant
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2Asqrt%28x%5E2%2B2x%29=-1\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28x%5E2%2B2x%29+=+-1%2F5\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If this is the case, then there is NO REAL SOLUTION, since in the real number system, a square root cannot equal a negative number.\r
