Answer:

D) 0 = 2(x + 5)(x + 3)

Explanation:

Which of the following quadratic equations has no solution?

We have to solve the Quadratic equation for all the options in other to get a positive value as a solution for x.

A) 0 = −2(x − 5)2 + 3

0 = -2(x - 5) × 5

0 = (-2x + 10) × 5

0 = -10x + 50

10x = 50

x = 50/10

x = 5

Option A has a solution of 5

B) 0 = −2(x − 5)(x + 3)

Take each of the factors and equate them to zero

-2 = 0

= 0

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

x + 3 = 0

x = -3

Option B has a solution by one of its factors as a positive value of 5

C) 0 = 2(x − 5)2 + 3

0 = 2(x - 5) × 5

0 = (2x -10) × 5

0 = 10x -50

-10x = -50

x = -50/-10

x = 5

Option C has a solution of 5

D) 0 = 2(x + 5)(x + 3)

Take each of the factors and equate to zero

0 = 2

= 0

x + 5 = 0

x = -5

x + 3 = 0

x = -3

For option D, all the values of x are 0, or negative values of -5 and -3.

Therefore the Quadratic Equation for option D has no solution.
