A quadratic polynomial f(x)f(x) has two distinct real roots α\alpha and β\beta. We are given that αβ=1\alpha\beta=1 and that α+β=γ\alpha+\beta=\gamma.

What is the possible range of values of γ\gamma?

A∣γ∣<2\lvert\gamma\rvert<2
Bγ>2\gamma>2
C∣γ∣>4\lvert\gamma\rvert>4
D∣γ∣≥2\lvert\gamma\rvert\ge2
E∣γ∣>2\lvert\gamma\rvert>2
