Decide what values of the variable cannot possibly be solutions for the equation. Do not solve.

\n" ); document.write( "Using the discriminant, \"b%5E2+-+4ac\", we get:
\n" ); document.write( "Since 53 is > 0, and NOT a perfect square, this means, as you might know, that the ROOTS/SOLUTIONS/ZEROES of the above quadratic will be REAL, IRRATIONAL, and UNEQUAL.
\n" ); document.write( "While they will STILL be UNEQUAL (\"53+%3C%3E+0\"), they can NEVER be IMAGINARY or RATIONAL. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
