Question 6 • IASD Precalculus 2nd Quarter - Wingerter 2025-26

A quadratic equation in form ax2 + bx + c = 0 cannot have:

Answer
A
one real solution.
B
one imaginary solution.
C
two real solutions.
D
two imaginary solutions.

Explanation

A quadratic with real coefficients has two roots, counting multiplicity. If one root is nonreal, its complex conjugate must also be a root, so nonreal roots occur as a pair. Therefore, it cannot have one imaginary solution by itself; the correct choice is “one imaginary solution.”
