MCQ
The expression ${x^2} + 2bx + c$ has the positive value if
  • A
    ${b^2} - 4c > 0$
  • B
    ${b^2} - 4c < 0$
  • C
    ${c^2} < b$
  • ${b^2} < c$

Answer

Correct option: D.
${b^2} < c$
d
(d) ${x^2} + 2bx + c = {(x + b)^2} + c - {b^2}$

$\because$ ${(x + b)^2}$ is a perfect square,

therefore the given expression is positive if $c - {b^2} > 0$or ${b^2} < c$.
