The equation is .
The standard form of quadratic equation in x - variables is , where
.
Graph the related function .
Observe the graph, the graph does not intersect the x - axis. So the equation has no real number solutions. The solution set is .
To check the solution by factoring method as follows:
\The polynomial is .
The general quadratic expression form is .
In the above trinomial, .Since
is positive and
is negative, so m and p are both negative.You need to find two negative factors with a sum of
and a product of
.
Make a list of the factors of 12 and look for the of factors with the sum of .
There is no factors with a sum of .So, the quadratic expression cannot be factored using integers.Therefore, is
prime.
The equation, has no solution.
