Dear student

If both the roots are greater than 2 then

By sum and product of roots

-b/a > 4

- b> 4a

And

c/a >4

c> 4a

Now

a² +c² + 2ac - b² = (a+c)² - b² = (5a)² - (4a)² = 9a² which is always positive

α and β are the root of the equationax^2 +bx + c =0 , so , α + β = -b/a and αβ =c/aNow, -1/α +(-1/β) = -{(-b/a)/c/a}=b/cand (-1/α)(-1/β) = a/c . Hence the required quadratic equation isx^2 -(sum of the roots)*x+product of the root=0 i.e. x^2 - (b/c)x + a/c = 0i.e. cx^2 -bx +a =0
