Question
In the following, determine whether the given values are solution of the given equation or not:
$x^2 + x + 1 = 0, x = 0, x = 1$

Answer

We have been given that,
$x^2 + x + 1 = 0, x = 0, x = 1$
Now, if x = 0 is a solution of the equation then it should satisfy the equation.
So, substituting x = 0 in the equation we get
$x^2 + x + 1$
$= (0)^2 + (0) + 1$
$= 1$
Hence x = 0 is not a solution of the given quadratic equation.
Also, if x = 1 is a solution of the equation it should satisfy the equation So, substituting x = 1 in the equation, we get
$x^2 + x + 1$
$= (1)^2 + (1) + 1$
$= 3$
Hence x = 1 is not a soluion of the quadratic equation.
Therefore, from the above results we find out that both x = 0 and x = 1 are not a solution of the given quadratic equation.
