$Default$ Prove by contradiction

Prove by contradiction: If

are real numbers such that the equation

has real roots greater than 1, show that the equation

has at least one real root.

Can someone show me step by step to solve this question? I'm not very good at these contradiction type questions so could you please add all necessary steps!

Thank you!
