Answer:

Explanation:

Given equation is,

x² + (p + 1)x = 5 - 2p

x² + (p + 1)x - (5 - 2p) = 0

x² + (p + 1)x + (2p - 5) = 0

Properties for the roots of a quadratic equation,

1). Quadratic equation will have two real roots, discriminant will be greater than zero. [(b² - 4ac) > 0]

2). If the equation has exactly one root, discriminant will be zero [(b² - 4ac) = 0]

3). If equation has imaginary roots, discriminant will be less than zero [(b² - 4ac) < 0].

Discriminant of the given equation =
(p+1)^2-4(1)(2p-5)

For real roots,


(p+1)^2-4(1)(2p-5)>0

p² + 2p + 1 - 8p + 20 > 0

p² - 6p + 21 > 0

For all real values of 'p', given equation will be greater than zero.
