Your Question:

Come up with a function for which there is no solution.

Using MATLAB try the solve() function to see what happens. If you can't think of one, try 1/x = 0.

Step By Step Answers with Explanation

Now, let's use MATLAB's solve() function to see what happens when we try to solve this equation:

syms x

Empty sym: 0-by-1

This result aligns with the fact that the equation 1 / (x - 2) = 0 has no solutions because it leads to a division by zero when x = 2. When you attempt to divide 1 by zero, you get an undefined result, and that's why there are no solutions to this equation.
