Detailed Solution

The given equation is x2+ax-b=0

Let α,β are the roots of the equation 

We know that α+β=-a and αβ=-b

The Arithmetic means of the roots is α+β2=-a2 and the twice theHormonic mean between α,β is 4αβα+β=4ba 

The required quadratic equation is x2+a24bax2b=0

simplifying the above equation 2ax2+a2-8bx-4ab=0
