Q. Solve for all real values of x.x2+1=0Answer: x=
Write Equation: Write down the given equation.x2+1=0We need to find the values of x that satisfy this equation.
Isolate x2: Isolate the x2 term by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation.x2=−1
Take Square Root: Take the square root of both sides of the equation to solve for x.x=±−1
Recognize Imaginary Solution: Recognize that the square root of a negative number is not a real number. It is an imaginary number. Since we are asked to find all real values of x, there are no real solutions to this equation.
