Question 537107: Given the function y=f(x), such that the entire graph of the function lies above the x-axis. Why does the equation f(x)=0 have no real solutions? Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Because f(x) = 0 would mean that there exists some x such that (x,0) (an x-intercept) is on the graph. Since the entire graph is above the x-axis, this is impossible.
