VMO 2012 Problem 2

    Let ⟨an⟩\langle a_n\rangle and ⟨bn⟩\langle b_n\rangle be two arithmetic sequences of numbers, and let mm be an integer greater than 2.2. Define Pk(x)=x2+akx+bk, k=1,2,⋯ ,m.P_k(x)=x^2+a_kx+b_k,\ k=1,2,\cdots, m. Prove that if the quadratic expressions P1(x),Pm(x)P_1(x), P_m(x) do not have any real roots, then all the remaining polynomials also don't have real roots.
