Q6

A cubic equation f(x) = 0 has one real root a and two complex roots ß ±iy. Points A, B, C represent roots
a, ß+iy and ß-iy respectively on the Argand diagram. Show that the roots of the equation f'(x) = 0
(the left hand side is the derivative off) are complex if A falls inside one of the two equilateral triangles
described on base BC.
