Impossible Quadratics

It is known that the equation [math]x^2+1=0[/math] has no real number solution. Finding solutions is equivalent to finding the x-intercepts of the graph of [math]f(x)=x^2+1[/math]. No intersection points, no solutions. You should be able to grab the graph and move it around to create equations that do have solutions.
