Question

If the graph of the function y = a - b 2 x 2 + 2 a + b - 2 c x + 1 ∀ a ≠ b is strictly above the x -axis, then, a b c, a c b, b a c, c b a

D = B 2 - 4 A C = 2 a + b - 2 c 2 - 4 a - b 2 = 4 a + b - 2 c 2 - a - b 2 = 4 a + b - 2 c - a + b a + b - 2 c + a - b = 4 2 b - 2 c 2 a - 2 c = 16 b - c a - c = 16 c - b c - a If c lies between a and b , then D is negative. Hence, the roots will be imaginary and the graph will be entirely above the x -axis as the coefficient of x 2 is positive.
