Why is there a need to identify as many possible solutions to a problem?

Certain solutions identified at certain points of time will not be suitable at a later point of time, hence it is better to have as many possible solutions to a problem.

In the abcde model of problem solving what does the b stand for?
In the ABCDE model of problem-solving "B" stands for "bring up all potential solutions." It involves generating as many ideas or solutions as possible to address the problem at hand.

Explain how to identify whether an equation has no solution or infinitely many solutions?
An equation can be determine to have no solution or infinitely many solutions by using the square rule.
How many solutions will a problem have if the discriminant is negative?

What do infinitely many solutions mean?
it means you can never run out of possible solutions - there are an infinite number of them.
In your opinion what are the essential elements of effective problem solving?
Step 1. Identify the problemFirstly you need to identify and name the problem so that you can find an appropriate solution. You may not be clear of what the problem is or feel anxious/confused about what is getting in the way of your goals. Try talking to others, as this may help you identify the problem. Step 2. Explore the problemWhen you are clear about what the problem is you need to think about from different angles. You can ask yourself questions such as: How is this problem affecting me?How is it affecting others?Who else experiences this problem?What do they do about it?Seeing the problem in different ways is likely to help you find an effective solution.Step 3. Set goalsOnce you have thought about the problem from different angles you can identify your goals. What is it that you want to achieve? Sometimes you may become frustrated by a problem and forget to think about what you want to achieve. For example, you might become ill, struggle to complete a number of assignments on time and feel so unmotivated that you let due dates pass. Improve your health?Increase your time management skills?Complete the assignments to the best of your ability?Finish the assignments as soon as possible?If you decide your goal is to improve your health, that will lead to different solutions to those linked with the goal of completing your assignments as soon as possible. One goal may lead you to a doctor and another may lead you to apply for extensions for your assignments. So working out your goals is a vital part of the problem solving process.Step 4. Look at AlternativesWhen you have decided what your goal/s is you need to look for possible solutions. The more possible solutions you find the more likely it is that you will be able to discover an effective solution. You can brain-storm for ideas. The purpose of brain-storming is to collect together a long list of possibilities. It does not matter whether the ideas are useful or practical or manageable: just write down the ideas as they come into your head. Some of the best solutions arise from creative thinking during brain-storming. You can also seek ideas about possible solutions by talking to others. The aim is to collect as many alternative solutions as possible. Step 5. Select a possible solutionFrom the list of possible solutions you can sort out which are most relevant to your situation and which are realistic and manageable. You can do this by predicting the outcomes for possible solutions and also checking with other people what they think the outcomes may be. When you have explored the consequences, you can use this information to identify the solution which is most relevant to you and is likely to have the best outcomes for your situation. Step 6. Implement a possible solutionOnce you have selected a possible solution you are ready to put it into action. You will need to have energy and motivation to do this because implementing the solution may take some time and effort. You can prepare yourself to implement the solution by planning when and how you will do it, whether you talk with others about it, and what rewards you will give yourself when you have done it. Step 7. EvaluateJust because you have implemented the best possible solution, you may not have automatically solved your problem, so evaluating the effectiveness of your solution is very important. You can ask yourself (and others) : How effective was that solution?Did it achieve what I wanted?What consequences did it have on my situation?If the solution was successful in helping you solve your problem and reach your goal, then you know that you have effectively solved your problem. If you feel dissatisfied with the result, then you can begin the steps again.
