    The equation \[9{{y}^{2}}(m+3)+6(m-3)y+(m+3)=0\], where m is real, has real roots. Which of the following is true?

    A)  \[m=0\]                       

    B)  \[m<0\]         

    C)  \[m\le 0\]     

    D)  \[m\ge 0\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    (c): Discriminant \[{{\left( 6\left( m-3 \right) \right)}^{2}}-4\left[ 9\left( m+3 \right)\left( m+3 \right) \right]\] \[=36\left[ {{(m-3)}^{2}}-{{(m+3)}^{2}} \right]\] \[=36\left[ \left( {{m}^{2}}-6m+9 \right)-\left( {{m}^{2}}+6m+9 \right) \right]\] \[=36(-12\,m)\]. This must be non - negative for the roots to be real. \[\Rightarrow m<0\]
