we have ,
x2+2(a+b)+(a-b+8)=0
=> x2+3a+b+8=0
for the equation to have unequal real roots then it should have the discriminant b2-4ac>0
so we get,
b2-4ac>0
=> 0-4(1)(3a+b+8)>0
=> -12a-4b-32>0
on solving the in equation we get the range for ‘b’ as
b
( -
, -3a-8)
so according to the range if a = -(8/3)
then b=0
so the smallest natural number for b is 0
