Let f(x)=ax2+bx+cf(x)=ax^2+bx+c, where aa, bb and cc are real constants and a≠0a\ne0.

Consider the condition

the stationary point of y=f(x) lies above the x-axis.\text{the stationary point of }y=f(x)\text{ lies above the }x\text{-axis}.

For the equation f(x)=0f(x)=0 to have no real solutions, this condition is

Anecessary but not sufficient.
Bneither necessary nor sufficient.
Csufficient but not necessary.
Dboth necessary and sufficient.
