    The expression \[{{x}^{2}}+2bx+c\] has the positive value if [Roorkee 1995]

    A) \[{{b}^{2}}-4c>0\]

    B) \[{{b}^{2}}-4c<0\]

    C) \[{{c}^{2}}<b\]

    D) \[{{b}^{2}}<c\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{x}^{2}}+2bx+c={{(x+b)}^{2}}+c-{{b}^{2}}\] \[\because \] \[{{(x+b)}^{2}}\]is a perfect square, therefore the given expression is positive if \[c-{{b}^{2}}>0\]or \[{{b}^{2}}<c\].
