The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that \( x^2 + x + 1 > 0 \) for all positive real values of \( x \). 1. **Evaluate the quadratic expression**: - The quadratic expression is \( x^2 + x + 1 \). - We can check if this expression is always positive for positive values of \( x \) by analyzing its discriminant. 2. **Calculate the discriminant**: - The discriminant \( D \) of a quadratic equation \( ax^2 + bx + c \) is given by \( D = b^2 - 4ac \). - Here, \( a = 1 \), \( b = 1 \), and \( c = 1 \). - Thus, \( D = 1^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 1 - 4 = -3 \). 3. **Interpret the discriminant**: - Since the discriminant is negative (\( D < 0 \)), the quadratic does not have real roots and opens upwards (as \( a > 0 \)). - Therefore, \( x^2 + x + 1 > 0 \) for all real values of \( x \), including all positive values of \( x \). ### Conclusion for Assertion The assertion is true: \( x^2 + x + 1 > 0 \) for all positive real values of \( x \). ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that when \( b^2 - 4ac < 0 \), the quadratic \( ax^2 + bx + c \) has the same sign for all real values of \( x \). 1. **Understanding the statement**: - The condition \( b^2 - 4ac < 0 \) implies that the quadratic does not intersect the x-axis, meaning it does not have real roots. - If \( a > 0 \), the quadratic opens upwards and is positive for all \( x \). - If \( a < 0 \), the quadratic opens downwards and is negative for all \( x \). 2. **Apply to our case**: - In our case, since \( a = 1 > 0 \) and \( D < 0 \), it confirms that \( x^2 + x + 1 \) is positive for all real \( x \). ### Conclusion for Reason The reason is true: when \( b^2 - 4ac < 0 \), the quadratic has the same sign for all real values of \( x \). ### Final Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. Therefore, the correct option is: **Both A and R are true, and R explains A.**
