quadratic equation whose roots are twice of the given equation
ax^2+bx+c=0
is
ax^2+2bx+4c=0
You can derive using following-
Roots for the equation ax^2+bx+c=0 are given by
X1 = [-b + sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a
X2 = [-b - sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a
The new roots are twice of these roots
Y1 = 2X1 = 2/2a
Y2 = 2X2 = 2/2a
or
you can derive the equation by resolving below-
(x - Y1)*(x - Y2) = 0
(x - [-b + sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/a)*(x - [-b - sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/a) = 0

Highly believing that 'a' will not be affected, an attempt at guessing is tried, not really the best approach:
ax^2+2b+2c=0
roots be
But seems to fail. Looking as 4c as replacement for c will be better, try:

, yes, this root pair is twice what we normally have in our solution formula.
