the circumcircle of triangle abc with angle=60 has its center at o and radius equal to 2 cm.

circle centered at o' touches th circumcircle and also ob and oc.the radius of the smaller
circle is(in cm)
ax2+bx+c=0 has no real roots, and a + b + c < 0 then c

A question in Quadratic Equations? If

ax2+bx+c=0 has complex roots and a +
c < b, then prove 4a+c<b?
If f(x)=ax^2+bx+c=0 has complex roots then either f(x)>0 or f(x)<0 for all x
If f(x)>0 then f(1)=ab+c>0 which contradicts b>a+c so f(x)<0 for all x
f(2)=4a2b+c<0, which is required result
Complex roots imply b - 4ac < 0, i.e. 0 b < 4ac, hence ac > 0 (a and c have
same sign).
If a > 0 and c > 0, then according the well-known inequality we would have
a + c 2(ac) = (4ac) > (b) = |b| b, i.e. a + c > b - contradiction.
Hence a < 0 and c < 0 and now
4ac - 2bc + c > b - 2bc + c = |b - c| 0, i.e. (4a - 2b + c)c > 0,
the latter along with c < 0 yields 4a - 2b + c < 0 as required.
P.S. You are welcome, Scythian! Thanks for the kind words, Mr. Prasad!
By the way, taking 4ac - 2ab + a > b - 2ab + a instead of
4ac - 2bc + c > b - 2bc + c, or taking into account the interchangeable role of
the coefficients a and c (the reciprocal equation cx + bx + a = 0 has complex
roots too) we can similarly show that a - 2b + 4c < 0. That allows some other
inequalities to be proven, for example adding the latter with 4a - 2b + c < 0 we get
a + c < 0.8b etc.
ax^2 + bx + c = 0 has complex roots so b^2 < 4ac
now (a+c)^2 = (a-c)^2 + 4ac so (a + c)^2 >= 4ac
so b^2 < ( a+ c)^2 and hence |b| < |a+ c|
as b > a+ c so a+ c < 0 and so a and c < 0 as ac > 0
till this my approach is same as Mr Duke

now let us for an equation whose roots are t = x/2

we have 4a(x/2)^2 + 2b(x/2) + c = 0
or 4at^2 + 2bt + c = 0
now (2b)^2 > 4(4a) c and using the argument as above (4a + c ) < 2b
Weirdly tricky problem. First, a, b, c all have to be negative reals. So, for roots to
be complex,
b = -(4ac) + e
where e > 0, i.e. e is any nonzero positive real.
If b > a + c and 2b > 4a + c, then b - (a+c) and 2b - (4a + c) must both be positive
nonzero reals. Plugging in -(4ac) + e for b and rearranging, we end up with:
b - (a+c) = -(a - c) + e
2b - (4a+c) = -(2a - c) + e
Since both a and c are negatives, both right sides are positive nonzero reals. QED.
