Multiple Choice

A project cost analyst is using a resource allocation formula represented by the equation 9k−2+1=0\sqrt{9k-2} + 1 = 0. After subtracting 1 from both sides to get 9k−2=−1\sqrt{9k-2} = -1, the analyst determines that the model has no real solution for the variable kk. Which fundamental mathematical definition is the analyst recalling to justify this immediate conclusion?
