Abstract
In this paper, we study the root distribution of some univariate polynomials satisfying a recurrence of order two with linear polynomial coefficients over positive numbers. We discover a sufficient and necessary condition for the overall real-rootedness of all the polynomials, in terms of the polynomial coefficients of the recurrence. Moreover, in the real-rooted case, we find the set of limits of zeros, which turns out to be the union of a closed interval and one or two isolated points; when non-real-rooted polynomial exists, we present a sufficient condition under which every polynomial with large has a real zero.
