Which consequence arises due to limitations in applying Al-Khwarizmi's 'completion' method?

💡 Explanation

Real-world constraints made medieval algebraic methods non-inclusive of true unknowns; the number line limitations meant algebraic manipulations that yielded negative solutions, found through the 'completion' procedure, were discounted because they lacked physical representation; therefore, negative values are unreal, rather than accepted.
