Write a quadratic equation with no real solutions.
x^2 + 4 = 0
-----------
Explain how you know there are no solutions.
There are solutions, but not real solutions.
The discriminant is < 0 --> no real solutions.
Plus, I know the solutions are ± 2i.

The discriminant is less than zero.
b%5E2-4ac%3C0
b%5E2%3C4ac
Let a=1, b=c, then
b%5E2%3C4%281%29%281%29
b%5E2%3C4
So let b=1
