00:08 Every number squared is greater than 0
00:14 Minus 9 is negative, therefore there is no solution
00:18 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

The parameters are expressed in the quadratic equation as follows:

aX2+bX+c=0

 

We identify that we have:
a=1
b=0
c=9

 

We recall the root formula:

Roots formula | The version

We replace according to the formula:

-0 ± √(0²-4*1*9)

           2

 

We will focus on the part inside the square root (also called delta)

√(0-4*1*9)

√(0-36)

√-36

 

It is not possible to take the square root of a negative number.

And so the question has no solution.

Answer

No solution
