If the equation x² − 2(a + 1)x + (a² + 4a + 5) = 0 has no real roots, which condition on a is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a > −2

A quadratic equation has no real roots when its discriminant satisfies Δ < 0. Here, Δ = [−2(a + 1)]² − 4(a² + 4a + 5) = −8(a + 2). Thus, −8(a + 2) < 0 gives a + 2 > 0, so a > −2. When a = −2, Δ = 0, giving two equal real roots. Exam tip: simplify the discriminant completely before applying its sign condition.
