What condition on the parameter \(a\) is necessary for the equation \(x^2+2(a+1)x+a^2+3=0\) to have real roots?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(a\ge1\)

A quadratic equation has real roots when its discriminant satisfies \(D\ge0\). Here, \(D=[2(a+1)]^2-4(a^2+3)=8(a-1)\). Therefore, \(8(a-1)\ge0\), giving \(a\ge1\). Option C, \(a>3\), is sufficient but unnecessarily restrictive; it is not the complete condition. Exam tip: For a parameter-based quadratic equation, begin by setting its discriminant greater than or equal to zero.
