State whether the following quadratic equations have two distinct real roots. Justicy your answer: `(x-1)(x+2)+2=0`

Answer» Given equation is
`(x-1)(x+2)+2=0`
`implies x^(2)+x-2+2=0`
`implies x^(2)+x+0=0`
on comparing the equation with `ax^(2)+bx+c=0` we have
`a=1,b=1` and `c=0`
`:.` Discriminant `D=b^(2)-4ac`
`=1-4(1)(0)=1lt0` i.e. `Dlt0`
Hence equation has two distinct real roots.
