hartnn (hartnn):

for the equation \(\Large ax^2+bx+c = 0\) to have no real roots, \(\large b^2 -4ac\) must be less than 0. so first compare x^2 +2x+c = 0 with ax^2 +bx+c = 0 and find a,b,c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a = 1, b = 2 c =1

hartnn (hartnn):

a= 1, b = 2 and c = c now find b^2 -4ac

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2^2 - 4(1)(1) = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait. c = c?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, keep c as c only

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it equals -4c+4?

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\Large b^2-4ac < 0 \\ \large 4 - 4c < 0\) factor out the 4

hartnn (hartnn):

or just add 4c on both sides

hartnn (hartnn):

4 < 4c divide both sides by 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4(1-c)?

hartnn (hartnn):

yea, ok 4 (1-c) < 0 dividing both sides by 4 1-c < 0 or 1<c

hartnn (hartnn):

which option satisfies that c>1 ??

hartnn (hartnn):

there will be no real roots when c is greater than 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 0?

hartnn (hartnn):

is 0 greater than 1 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.

hartnn (hartnn):

good! \(\huge \checkmark \)
