What condition on \(m\) is required for the equation \(x^2+2(m-1)x+(m+5)=0\) to have no real roots?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(-1<m<4\)

Here, \(a=1\), \(b=2(m-1)\), and \(c=m+5\). For no real roots, the discriminant must satisfy \(D<0\). Thus, \(D=4(m-1)^2-4(m+5)=4(m^2-3m-4)=4(m-4)(m+1)\). Therefore, \((m-4)(m+1)<0\), giving \(-1<m<4\). In option B, the discriminant is positive, so there are two real roots; at the endpoint values in option C, the roots are real and equal. Exam tip: For a quadratic equation, determine the nature of the roots by checking the sign of its discriminant.
