$${A}={ab}=\mathrm{25}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{35}{x}+\mathrm{12}\:\Rightarrow\:{b}=\frac{\mathrm{25}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{35}{x}+\mathrm{12}}{{a}}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$${P}=\mathrm{2}\left({a}+{b}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{2}\left({a}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{25}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{35}{x}+\mathrm{12}\right)}{{a}} \\ $$$${A}>\mathrm{0}\wedge{P}>\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow\:{a}>\mathrm{0}\wedge{b}>\mathrm{0}\wedge\left({x}<\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{5}}\vee\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}}<{x}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{We}\:\mathrm{can}\:\mathrm{do}\:\mathrm{this}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{Let}\:{x}={t}+\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{because}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{polynomial}\:\mathrm{is} \\ $$$$\mathrm{symmetric}\:\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{can}\:\mathrm{let}\:{t}>\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${A}=\mathrm{25}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{35}{x}+\mathrm{12}=\mathrm{5}{t}\left(\mathrm{5}{t}+\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$${P}=\frac{\mathrm{2}\left({a}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{5}{t}\left(\mathrm{5}{t}+\mathrm{1}\right)\right)}{{a}};\:{a}>\mathrm{0}\wedge{t}>\mathrm{0} \\ $$
