2ax_1 x_2 +b(x_1 +x_2 )+2c=0  2c−(b^2 /a)+2c=0  ⇒   a=(b^2 /(4c))

$$\mathrm{2}{ax}_{\mathrm{1}} {x}_{\mathrm{2}} +{b}\left({x}_{\mathrm{1}} +{x}_{\mathrm{2}} \right)+\mathrm{2}{c}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{c}−\frac{{b}^{\mathrm{2}} }{{a}}+\mathrm{2}{c}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\:{a}=\frac{{b}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{4}{c}} \\ $$
