Which of the following quadratic expressions remains positive for every real value of x?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(x^2+4x+5\)

\(x^2+4x+5=(x+2)^2+1\). Since \((x+2)^2\geq0\), its minimum value is 1, so it is positive for every real \(x\). In the closest distractor, option B, substituting \(x=2\) gives \(-1\), so it is not always positive. Exam tip: complete the square to find the minimum or maximum value of a quadratic.
