Answer:

0 < c < 1

Explanation:

Descarte's rule of signs tells you the quadratic will have two or zero positive real roots when the sign of c is positive. (c > 0)

The discriminant tells you the quadratic will have real roots when ...

b² -4ac > 0 . . . . . . where a, b, c are the coefficients of ax² +bx +c = 0

(-2)² -4(1)c > 0

1 -c > 0

c < 1

The equation will have two positive real roots when 0 < c < 1.
