If you have x^2+a*x+b=0, solve it to get two roots a1<=b1.
Now, form another similar equation: x^2+a1*x+b1=0.
Solve this second equation to get two roots a2<=b2.
Continue this pattern.
Question: Prove that you can not produce more than five equations. That is, prove that you will reach, in the best case, up to x^2+a5*x+b5=0, which will not have solutions in real number system.
