99^2+b^2 = (b^2)+81

9^2 + b^2 = 6^2 = {b=-((3*sqrt(5))*i), b=(3*sqrt(5))*i}

9^2 + b^2  = 6^2    has no real solution....to see why...

 

b^2  = 6^2  - 9^2

 

b^2  = 36 - 81

 

b^2  = -45

 

But......b^2 is ≥ 0    for all real numbers....thus,  it can never be a negative........

.

 

 

cool cool cool
