real solutions or roots or zeros from a graphic standpoint, are simply the x-intercepts, because that's what a zero or root is, nothing but an x-intercept, hmm well, from the picture above, how many times does the graph touch the x-axis? hell, is really above it, it never touches it, so it doesn't have any real solutions.
