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?
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
it has imaginary roots

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.
