The discriminant of the quadratic 2 x + 1 2 + 3 x + 2 2 + 4 x + 3 2 + …   n terms = 0 ,   ∀ n > 3 ,   x ∈ R is
Options
- Apositive
- Bzero
- Cnegative
- Ddepends on n
Correct answer
C. negative
Step-by-step solution
2 x + 1 2 + 3 x + 2 2 + 4 x + 3 2 + … n terms = 0 , x ∈ R This is possible only when individually every perfect square is zero, but this can’t happen here. So, the above equation doesn’t have any real roots. ⇒ D < 0
