Solution

(c) negativeDiscriminant D of ax2 + 2bx + c = 2b2 - 4ac < 0 Given4b2 - 4ac < 0 b2 - ac < 0, where a>0 (1)Δ= a b ax + b b c bx + cax + b bx + c 0= ax bx ax2 + bx b c bx + cax + b bx + c 0 Applying R1x R1=1x ax + b bx + c ax2 + bx + bx + c b c bx + cax + b bx + c 0 Applying R1R1+R2=1x 0 0 ax2 + 2bx + c b c bx + cax + b bx + c 0 Applying R1R1-R3=1xax2 + 2bx + c bcax + b bx + c Expanding along R1=1xax2 + 2bx + cb2x + bc - acx - bc=1xax2 + 2bx + c x b2 - ac = ax2 + 2bx + cb2 - ac < 0 From eq. (1)Δ < 0
