Detailed Solution

Let f(x)=ax2+bx+c. Then f(0)=c

Thus, the curve y=f(x) meets y-axis at (0,c)

If c > 0, then by hypothesis f( x)>0. This means that the curve y=f(x) does not meet x-axis. 

If c<0, then by hypothesis, f(x)<0, which means that the curve y=f(x) is always below x-axis and so it does not intersect with x-axis. 

Thus, in both the cases y=f(x) does not intersect with x-axis i.e. f(x) 0 for any real x.

Hence, f(x)=0i.e. ax2+bx+c=0 has imaginary roots and so we have b2<4ac
