or 


and let

(i) Both roots are smaller than 2 .

Consider the following cases:
Case I 
[from Eq. (i)]
Case II
-coordinate of vertex
.
[from Eq. (ii)]
or 
Case III 



Combining all cases, we get

(ii) Both roots are greater than 2 .
Consider the following cases:

Case I 
[from Eq. (i)]
Case II
-coordinate of vertex 
[from Eq. (ii)]

Case III 
from part (i) 
Combining all cases, we get

(iii) Both roots lie in the interval
.
Consider the following cases:

Case I 
[from Eq. (i)]
Case II 
[from part (i)]
Case III 

or 

Case IV
-coordinate of vertex 
or
or 
Combining all cases, we get

(iv) Exactly one root lie in the interval
.
Consider the following cases:
Case I D > 0
[from Eq. (i)]

Case II 







Combining all cases, we get

(v) One root is smaller than 1 and the other root is greater than 1.
Consider the following cases:

Case I 
[from Eq. (i)]
Case II 
[from Eq. (iii)]


Combining both cases, we get

(vi) One root is greater than 3 and the other root is smaller than 2.
Consider the following cases:


[from Eq. (i)]
Case II 



Case III 



Combining all cases, we get

(vii) Atleast one root lies in the interval
.
i.e. part (iv)
(iii)

(viii) Atleast one root is greater than 2 .
i.e. (Exactly one root is greater than 2
(Both roots are greater than 2)

or
Exactly one root is greater than 2
b)…(i)
Consider the following cases:
Case I 
[from Eq. (i)]
Case II 


Combining both cases, we get

Finally from Eqs. (I) and (II), we get

(ix) Atleast one root is smaller than 2.
i.e. (Exactly one root is smaller than 2
(Both roots are smaller than 2) or part (viii) (II)
(i)
We get, 
(x) Both 2 and 3 lie between
and
.
Consider the following cases:

[from Eq. (i)]

Case II 


Case III 


Combining all cases, we get
