You can put this solution on YOUR website!
By no "real" solution I assume that you mean the equation has "complex" or "imaginary" solutions.
One example would be the parabola expressed by the equation: y+=+x%5E2+%2B+3
graph%28300%2C200%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C10%2Cx%5E2%2B3%29
The characteristic of such parabolas is that they have no x-intercepts.
