Answer: X² = -1

Step-by-step explanation: Let's take a look at the equation X² = -1. This equation has no solution in the real number system because any real number squared must be a positive. In other words, there is no real number x whose square is -1. However, we can expand our number system to include imaginary numbers but in the real number system, this would have no solution.
