Detailed Solution

 Consider 1x+x21x2+x4

=1+x+x21x+x21x2+x41+x+x2

=1x2n+x2n+11+x+x2=11+x+x2(|x|<1,n)

now take log on both sides and differentiate

log1+x+x2+log1-x+x2+log1-x2+x4+log1-x4+x8+=0

 Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get 

1+2x1+x+x2+1+2x1x+x2+2x+4x31x2+x4+4x3+8x71x4+x8+=0

 or 12x1x+x2+2x4x31x2+x4+4x38x71x4+x8+=1+2x1+x+x2

a=2,b=1,c=1
