Question
How many solutions would the equation x2=−9
have? You do not need to solve for x.(1 point)
The equation would have
solution(s).
Remaining Attempts : 3

Answer 1

The equation \( x^2 = -9 \) does not have any real solutions because the square of a real number cannot be negative. However, if you consider complex numbers, the solutions would be \( x = 3i \) and \( x = -3i \), where \( i \) is the imaginary unit.

Since the question asks for the number of solutions, the equation \( x^2 = -9 \) has **2 solutions** in the realm of complex numbers.

So the answer is: **2 solution(s)**.
