Question

If the equation ax2+bx+c=0 does not have 2 distinct real
roots and a+c>b, then prove that (x)0,xR.

Open in App
Solution

f(x)=ax2+bx+c
But, since f(x) does not have 2 distinct real root, the conditions can be either
f(x)0 or f(x)0 xR
graphs possible OR for f(x)0
graphs possible for f(x)0
Now, f(1)=a(1)2+b(1)+c=ab+c
Since f(x) does not have 2 distinct real roots.
f(1)0 or f(1)0
Case 1: when f(x)0
f(1)0
ab+c0
a+cb
Also, a+c>b [given]
Hence, case 1 is satisfied.
Hence, we can say that f(x)0xR.
