Provide an appropriate response.Does the equation 
= - 
have a real-number solution? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
No. Since neither radical can have a value less than 0, the only way this equation could have a real-number solution is if both radicals had a value of 0. Assume that 
= 0. Then x + 2 = 0, and x = -2. Now assume that - 
= 0. Then x = 0. Since 0 ? -2, this contradiction shows that the equation does not have a real-number solution. (Explanations will vary.)
