Full solution

Q. a2+1=0a^{2}+1=0\newlineHow many distinct real solutions does the given equation have?\newline\square
  1. Isolate a2a^2: First, let's try to isolate a2a^2 by subtracting 11 from both sides of the equation.\newlinea2+11=01a^2 + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1\newlinea2=1a^2 = -1
  2. Real Number Squares: Now, we know that a2a^2 is the square of a real number, and the square of a real number can't be negative.\newlineSo, there's no real number that when squared gives 1-1.\newlineThis means there are no real solutions to the equation.
