For independent U,V uniform on [0,1], real roots occur on U≤V2, a region of probability 1/3. On that region both roots are nonpositive. Both lie in [−1,0] exactly when max(0,2V−1)≤U≤V2. Its area is 1/12, so the conditional probability of both absolute values being at most one is 1/4. Joint probability density integration turns algebraic discriminant and root constraints into simple planar areas.
