The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements given regarding the quadratic equations and their discriminants. ### Step 1: Understand the Quadratic Equations We have two quadratic equations: 1. \( a_1 x^2 + b_1 x + c_1 = 0 \) with discriminant \( \Delta_1 = b_1^2 - 4a_1c_1 \) 2. \( a_2 x^2 + b_2 x + c_2 = 0 \) with discriminant \( \Delta_2 = b_2^2 - 4a_2c_2 \) ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1**: At least one of the given equations has imaginary roots if and only if \( \Delta_1 + \Delta_2 < 0 \). - **Imaginary Roots**: A quadratic equation has imaginary roots if its discriminant is less than zero. Therefore: - For the first equation: \( \Delta_1 < 0 \) implies imaginary roots. - For the second equation: \( \Delta_2 < 0 \) implies imaginary roots. - If \( \Delta_1 + \Delta_2 < 0 \), it means that the sum of the discriminants is negative. This can occur if: - Both \( \Delta_1 \) and \( \Delta_2 \) are negative, or - One is negative, and the other is less positive (but still positive). Thus, if \( \Delta_1 + \Delta_2 < 0 \), at least one of the discriminants must be negative, indicating that at least one of the equations has imaginary roots. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2**: If \( \Delta_1 + \Delta_2 < 0 \), then at least one of \( \Delta_1 \) and \( \Delta_2 \) is negative. - This statement is straightforward. If the sum of two numbers (in this case, the discriminants) is negative, at least one of those numbers must be negative. Therefore, if \( \Delta_1 + \Delta_2 < 0 \), it follows that at least one of \( \Delta_1 \) or \( \Delta_2 \) must be negative. ### Conclusion: - **Statement 1** is true because at least one of the equations must have imaginary roots if \( \Delta_1 + \Delta_2 < 0 \). - **Statement 2** is also true because if the sum of the discriminants is negative, at least one must be negative. Thus, the correct answer is that both statements are true.
