For 0<c<b<a, let (a+b-2 c) x^2+(b+c-2 a) x+(c+a-2 b)=0 and α ≠ 1 be one of its root. Then, among the two statements (I) If α ∈(-1,0), then b cannot…

For $\displaystyle 0<c<b<a$, let $\displaystyle (a+b-2 c) x^2+(b+c-2 a) x+(c+a-2 b)=0$ and $\displaystyle \alpha \neq 1$ be one of its root. Then, among the two statements
(I)
If $\displaystyle \alpha \in(-1,0)$, then $\displaystyle b$ cannot be the geometric mean of $\displaystyle a$ and $\displaystyle c$
(II)
If $\displaystyle \alpha \in(0,1)$, then $\displaystyle b$ may be the geometric mean of $\displaystyle a$ and $\displaystyle c$
