Question

Solve (x+1)2 = –5.

Question 16 options:

A)

No real solution

B)

x = ±1.75

C)

x = ±5

D)

x = ±1

Answer 1

A) no real solutions

Explanation:

No real solution. in order to x+1 by itself you must square root both sides. that would mean square rooting -5 which creates an imaginary number. so there are no real solutions. Also cause even if x was a negative, when you'd square it, you'll always get a positive.
