The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given quadratic equation \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \) under the conditions that \( 0 < a < b < c \) and that the roots \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) are non-real complex numbers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Condition for Non-Real Roots**: The roots of the quadratic equation \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \) are given by the formula: \[ \alpha, \beta = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] For the roots to be non-real, the discriminant must be negative: \[ b^2 - 4ac < 0 \] 2. **Rearranging the Discriminant Condition**: From the condition \( b^2 < 4ac \), we can rearrange it to express the relationship between \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \): \[ \frac{b^2}{4ac} < 1 \] 3. **Magnitude of the Roots**: The roots can be expressed in terms of their magnitudes. Since the roots are complex, we can express them as: \[ \alpha = \frac{-b + i\sqrt{4ac - b^2}}{2a}, \quad \beta = \frac{-b - i\sqrt{4ac - b^2}}{2a} \] The magnitude of the roots \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) is given by: \[ |\alpha| = |\beta| = \sqrt{\left(\frac{-b}{2a}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{\sqrt{4ac - b^2}}{2a}\right)^2} \] 4. **Calculating the Magnitude**: Simplifying the expression for the magnitude: \[ |\alpha| = |\beta| = \sqrt{\frac{b^2}{4a^2} + \frac{4ac - b^2}{4a^2}} = \sqrt{\frac{4ac}{4a^2}} = \frac{\sqrt{4ac}}{2a} = \frac{\sqrt{c}}{\sqrt{a}} \] 5. **Analyzing the Magnitude**: Since \( 0 < a < b < c \), we know that \( c > a \). Therefore: \[ \frac{\sqrt{c}}{\sqrt{a}} > 1 \] This implies: \[ |\alpha| > 1 \quad \text{and} \quad |\beta| > 1 \] ### Conclusion: Thus, we conclude that both \( |\alpha| \) and \( |\beta| \) are greater than 1. Therefore, the correct options based on the conditions provided are options A and B.
