Find the range of \(x\)
\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} x^2+x+1>0,\quad x\in \mathbb{R} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)
\[x \in R\]
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 \(x\).
Are you in 11th?
it has imaginary roots
Well, that's obvious. All polynomials have roots. It comes without saying that I mean real roots.
Anyway, do you see why that holds for all \(x\)?
cuz \(x\in \mathbb{R},x\cancel{\in} \mathbb{I}\)
In inequalities, we don't talk about complex numbers anyway. Do you see why \(x^2 + x + 1\) is positive for all \(x\)?
Another way to think is that the minimum value of the function is \(3/4\), so the function will always be greater than 0.
how u got 3/4
\[x^2 + x + 1 = \left(x + \frac{1}{2}\right) ^2 + \frac{3}{4}\]
