If a is a real number and \(x^2-2(a+4)x+a^2+8a+20=0\), how many real roots does the equation have?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 0

For a quadratic equation, the discriminant is \(D=b^2-4ac\). Here, \(a_1=1\), \(b=-2(a+4)\), and \(c=a^2+8a+20\). Thus, \(D=4(a+4)^2-4(a^2+8a+20)=-16\), which is negative for every real value of \(a\). Therefore, the equation has no real roots, so their number is \(0\). Exam tip: \(D<0\) means no real roots, whereas \(D=0\) means one repeated real root.
