Given the solutions of ax²+bx+c<0 (a≠0) are x<α or x>β, (α>0, β>0 ), Find bx²+ax+c>0

The solution below is what I can get right now

The quadratic that you're given, ax²+bx+c<0, has 3 variables, but the information you're given only has 2 variables. On the surface, it seems like that's going to make this messy, but your original quadratic can be simplified without changing the roots.

#

I recommend that you first assume a>0, finish that version of the question, then go back and do the other case.

i got an answer rn but im not sure

I just realized that you can actually reduce the sign of a.

#

Well done.

#

Yeah, that looks good to me. Strange question.

#

If you want a little more clarity on the question, you might try plugging in some values for alpha and beta.
