For (x^2+2x+\lambda=0) to have real distinct roots and both negative roots, what is the correct condition on (\lambda)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (0<\lambda<1)
For both roots to be negative, the sum (-2) and product (\lambda>0) are needed. For real distinct roots, (4-4\lambda>0), hence (0<\lambda<1).
