If c is positive and 2ax^2 + 3bx + 5c = 0 does not have any real roots, then prove that 2a - 3b + 5c > 0.

Hello Student,
Please find answer to your question below

f(x) = 2ax^2 + 3bx + 5c
Since this equation does not have any real roots.
So f(x) will either be positve or negative.
Lets check out.
f(0) = 2a(0)^2 + 3b(0) + 5c
f(0) = 5c
Since c > 0 (Given)
So
f(0) > 0
So f(x) is +ve for all x belongs to real.
f(-1) = 2a(-1)^2 + 3b(-1)+5c
f(-1) = 2a - 3b + 5c
f(-1) > 0
2a – 3b + 5c > 0
Hence Proved.
