Which equation has discriminant −15?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² + x + 4 = 0

The correct answer is A. For a quadratic equation written as ax² + bx + c = 0, the discriminant is D = b² − 4ac. The first step is to identify a, b and c carefully, including the sign of b. In option A, a = 1, b = 1 and c = 4, so D = 1² − 4(1)(4) = 1 − 16 = −15. In option B, a = 1, b = 4 and c = 1, giving D = 16 − 4 = 12, not −15. In option C, a = 2, b = 1 and c = 1, giving D = 1 − 8 = −7. In option D, a = 1, b = −5 and c = 8, giving D = (−5)² − 32 = −7. Thus only A satisfies the condition. A negative discriminant means the equation has no real roots. Memory cue: first write a, b and c separately, then use b² − 4ac; never forget a when it is not 1.
