What condition on \(k\) is necessary for the quadratic equation \(x^2+2(k+1)x+k^2+6k+9=0\) to have no real roots?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(k>-2\)

A quadratic equation has no real roots when its discriminant satisfies \(D<0\). Here, \(D=[2(k+1)]^2-4(k^2+6k+9)=-16(k+2)\). Therefore, \(-16(k+2)<0\), which gives \(k>-2\). At \(k=-2\), \(D=0\), giving two equal real roots, while \(k<-2\) gives two distinct real roots. Exam tip: simplify the discriminant first and then impose the required sign condition.
