A student concentrates on solving quadratic equations in $\mathbb{R}$. He starts with a first quadratic equation $x^2 + ax + b = 0$ where $a$ and $b$ are both different from 0. If this first equation has solutions $p$ and $q$ with $p \leq q$, he forms a second quadratic equation $x^2 + px + q = 0$. If this second equation has solutions, he forms a third quadratic equation in an identical way. He continues this process as long as possible. Prove that he will not obtain more than five equations.
