If p(x)=k⋅q(x)p(x)=k \cdot q(x)p(x)=k⋅q(x), where k<0k<0k<0 and q(x)>0q(x)>0q(x)>0 ∀x∈R\forall x \in \mathbb{R}∀x∈R except x=ax=ax=a where q(a)=0q(a)=0q(a)=0 causing p(a)=0p(a)=0p(a)=0 as well; considering p′′p''p′′ exists everywhere excluding x=ax=ax=a due to lack of smoothness caused by q′′q''q′′ — what must hold true for q′′q''q′′ near x=ax=ax=a?
