If p is a real number, which statement correctly describes the nature of the roots of the equation x² + 2x + (p² + 2) = 0?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It will have no real roots for any real p

Here, a = 1, b = 2, and c = p² + 2. Therefore, the discriminant is D = b² − 4ac = 4 − 4(p² + 2) = −4(p² + 1). For every real p, p² + 1 > 0, so D < 0; hence the equation has no real roots. Therefore, option A is correct. Option C is incorrect because even when p = 0, D = −4, not zero. Exam tip: A quadratic equation has no real roots whenever its discriminant is negative.
