If f(x)=ax2+bx+c, where a≠0,b,c∈R, then which of the following conditions implies that f(x) has real roots?
a + b + c = 0
a and c are of opposite signs
4ac−b2<0
a and b are of opposite signs
(1) If f(1)=0⇒a+b+c=0
So, roots are real.
(2) D=b2−4ac
If ac<0⇒D>0
(3) 4ac−b2<0⇒b2−4ac>0
(4) This is not the sufficient condition.
