  1. A infinitely many
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) infinitely many

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(D=4(1+3 m)^{2}-4\left(1+m^{2}\right)(1+8 m)\) \(=4\left(1+9 m^{2}+6 m-1-8 m-m^{2}-8 m^{3}\right)\) \(=-8 m\left(4 m^{2}-4 m+1\right)\) \(=-8 m(2 m-1)^{2}<0\) \(\therefore \) Infinitely many values of \(\mathrm{m}\)
