Question
If the equation $ax^{2} + bx + c = x,a,b,c \in R$ and $a \neq 0$, has no real roots, then the equation $a\left( ax^{2} + bx + c \right)^{2} + b\left( ax^{2} + bx + c \right) + c = x$ will have
Options
A.2 distinct real roots
B.no real roots
C.2 equal real roots
D.nothing can be said
Solution
Let $P(x) = {ax}^{2} + bx + c$
$P(x) = x$ has no real roots
$$\begin{matrix} & \ \Rightarrow \ P(x) > x\forall x \in R \\ & \ \Rightarrow \ P(P(x)) > P(x) > x\forall x \in R \end{matrix}\ \text{~or~}\ \begin{matrix} & P(x) < x \\ & P(P(x)) < P(x) < x\forall x \in R \end{matrix}\ \forall x \in R$$
Hence, $P(P(x)) = x$ has no real roots
