What is the nature of the roots of x² − (2r+5)x + (r²+5r+4) = 0?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Always real, rational and distinct

For the equation x² − (2r+5)x + (r²+5r+4) = 0, the coefficients are a = 1, b = −(2r+5) and c = r²+5r+4. Its discriminant is D = [−(2r+5)]² − 4(r²+5r+4) = (2r+5)² − 4r² − 20r − 16. Expanding the square gives 4r²+20r+25, so D = 9. Since D is always positive, the roots are always real and distinct. Also, D = 9 is a perfect square and the coefficients are rational whenever r is rational; algebraically the roots simplify directly to r+4 and r+1. Thus the intended school-level conclusion is that the roots are real, rational and distinct, so option A is correct. They are not equal or non-real.
