Define the discriminant of the binary quadratic form f(x,y)=ax2+bxy+cy2f(x, y)=a x^{2}+b x y+c y^{2}.

Assuming that this form is positive definite, define what it means for ff to be reduced.

Show that there are precisely two reduced positive definite binary quadratic forms of discriminant −35-35.
