Given
show that for all integers x.

The "given" part is rather pointless, because we can prove that statement for all integers x without it.

The roots of the quadratic equation are:



This is a complex number, so the quadratic has no real roots. This means that the function is either all positive or all negative. Since the x^2 coefficient is positive, the entire function must be positive (since it opens upward and a quadratic having any negative values would be bounded by the x-axis).
