Step 1: Apply Vieta's formulas for the given quadratic equation.
For the quadratic equation 2x2+bx+c=02x^2 + bx + c = 0, the sum of the roots (α+β\alpha + \beta) and the product of the roots (αβ\alpha \beta) are given by:

α+β=−b2(1)\alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{2} \quad (1) αβ=c2(2)\alpha \beta = \frac{c}{2} \quad (2)

Step 2: Use the given condition α=2β\alpha = 2\beta in the sum of roots equation.
Substitute α=2β\alpha = 2\beta into equation (1):

2β+β=−b22\beta + \beta = -\frac{b}{2}
