Approved Tutor Answer8 Years agothis will be always positive.
because here after comparing from ax^2+ bx+ c = 0
Discriminant is negative and a is positive hence it will be positive always
Note- if Discriminant is negative and a is also negative then this equation is always negative.
and also it can be written as
(x+ 1/2)2 + 3/4
as we know square of any number is positive always or zero and further we are adding 3/4 too.
hence it will be positive always.
hope it helps

this will always be positive
as the value of the expresion belongs to [4ac-b2/4a ,∞)
where a=1 ,b=1 ,c=1
by substituting the values of a,b and c we get[3/4,∞)
as the value of the expression can never be less than ¾
it is always positive

Always positive BecauseWe can modify equation in this form (x+1/2)^2 +3/4 in this (x+1/2)^2 is always positive So answer is positive
Shailendra Kumar Sharma
let x2+x+1 be the function
Now x2+x+1/4 +3/4
(x+1/2)^2+3/4
Now x2+x+1/4 +3/4
(x+1/2)^2+3/4
sine (x+1/2)^2 will always be greater than or equal to zero the minimum value of this function is ¾ so it will always be positive
other way to look at is D0 so all the function will be above X axis so no negetive y values

Answer is positiveBecause for any real numbers x^2+x+1 is positive Ex: if x=1 then x^2+x+1.is 3 (positive) similarly for all x belongs to positive real numbers then answer is positiveIf x=-1 then x^2+x+1 is 1 (positive) similarly for all x=negative real numbers ans is positive If x=0 then x^2+x+1=1 (positive)
