Detailed Solution
Let D1 and D2 be discriminants of ax2+bx+c=0 and −ax2+bx+c=0 respectively. Then, D1=b2−4ac,D2=b2+4ac Now, ac≠0⇒ either ac>0 or ac<0 If ac>0, then D2>0. Therefore, roots of −ax2+bx+c=0 are real If ac<0, then D1>0. Therefore, roots of ax2+bx+c=0 are real Thus, f(x)g(x) has at least two real roots.
