Find out which of the following sentences are statements and which are not. Justify your answer.

x2 + 5|x| + 6 = 0 has no real roots.

Concept Used: A statement is an assertive (declarative) sentence if it is either true or false but not both.


Here, If x>0,


x2+5|x|+6=0


x2+5x+6=0


x = -3 or x = -2


But, Since x>0, the equation has no roots.


If x<0,


x2+5|x|+6=0


x2 - 5x+6=0


But, Since x<0, the equation has no real roots.


Hence,it is a statement.
