Find the range of \(x\)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} x^2+x+1>0,\quad x\in \mathbb{R} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)

Parth (parthkohli):

\[x \in R\]

Parth (parthkohli):

This quadratic expression has no roots, and it points upwards. It means that it must lie above the x-axis always, thus meaning that the inequality holds for all \(x\).

Parth (parthkohli):

Are you in 11th?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

it has imaginary roots

Parth (parthkohli):

Well, that's obvious. All polynomials have roots. It comes without saying that I mean real roots.

Parth (parthkohli):

Anyway, do you see why that holds for all \(x\)?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

cuz \(x\in \mathbb{R},x\cancel{\in} \mathbb{I}\)

Parth (parthkohli):

In inequalities, we don't talk about complex numbers anyway. Do you see why \(x^2 + x + 1\) is positive for all \(x\)?

Parth (parthkohli):

Another way to think is that the minimum value of the function is \(3/4\), so the function will always be greater than 0.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

how u got 3/4

Parth (parthkohli):

\[x^2 + x + 1 = \left(x + \frac{1}{2}\right) ^2 + \frac{3}{4}\]
