Δ=(4(a+c))^2 −4×(−4)(b^2 −4ac)  =16a^2 +16c^2 +32ac+16b^2 −64ac  =16a^2 +16c^2 −32ac+16b^2   =16(a−c)^2 +16b^2   (a−c)^2  is always ≥0  b^2  is always ≥0  hence  Δ≥0  ⇒roots are always real  ■
$$\Delta=\left(\mathrm{4}\left({a}+{c}\right)\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}×\left(−\mathrm{4}\right)\left({b}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{ac}\right) \\ $$$$=\mathrm{16}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{16}{c}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{32}{ac}+\mathrm{16}{b}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{64}{ac} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{16}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{16}{c}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{32}{ac}+\mathrm{16}{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{16}\left({a}−{c}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{16}{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\left({a}−{c}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{always}\:\geqslant\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${b}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{always}\:\geqslant\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{hence} \\ $$$$\Delta\geqslant\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{roots}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{always}\:\mathrm{real} \\ $$$$\blacksquare \\ $$

your quation mean ax^2 +bx+c=0 ..Elet y root of E  ⇒(b^2 −4ac)y^2 +4(a+c)y−4=0?
$${your}\:{quation}\:{mean}\:{ax}^{\mathrm{2}} +{bx}+{c}=\mathrm{0}\:..{Elet}\:{y}\:{root}\:{of}\:{E} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left({b}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{ac}\right){y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}\left({a}+{c}\right){y}−\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{0}? \\ $$

In that case, there is no equation at all.

usually when dealing with  ax^2 +bx+c=0  it is clearly implied that a≠0  ⇒  x^2 +((4(a+c))/(b^2 −4ac))x−(4/(b^2 −4ac))=0; a, b, c ∈R∧b^2 −4ac≠0  x^2 +px+q=0 ⇔ x=−(p/2)±(√((p^2 /4)−q))  this is real for D=(p^2 /4)−q≥0  ⇒ D=4((a^2 −2ac+b^2 +c^2 )/((b^2 −4ac)^2 ))=4(((a−c)^2 +b^2 )/((b^2 −4ac)^2 ))>0 ⇒  ⇒ x∈R
