Using the discriminant, the quadratic equation that has complex solutions is given by:

x² + 2x + 5 = 0.

<h3>What is the discriminant of a quadratic equation and how does it influence the solutions?</h3>

A quadratic equation is modeled by:

y = ax² + bx + c

The discriminant is:

\Delta = b^2 - 4ac

The solutions are as follows:

  • If \mathbf{\Delta > 0}, it has 2 real solutions.
  • If \mathbf{\Delta = 0}, it has 1 real solutions.
  • If \mathbf{\Delta < 0}, it has 2 complex solutions.

In this problem, we want a negative discriminant, hence the equation is:

x² + 2x + 5 = 0.

As the coefficients are a = 1, b = 2, c = 5, hence:

\Delta = 2^2 - 4(1)(5) = 4 - 20 = -16
