p>12(6+36+f2)

Explanation:

If y>0x then p>0 because p is the coeficient of x2 and y(x) cannot have x crossings so y(0)=p6>0

Anyway the x crossings are given at

x=f±f2+24p4p22p so if

f2+24p4p2<0 no feasible crossings

or solving for p

p<12(662+f2) and p>12(6+62+f2)

Concluding

p>6 and p>12(6+62+f2) or finally

p>12(6+62+f2)
