If the difference between the roots of the equation $${x^2} + ax + 1 = 0$$ is less than $$\sqrt 5 ,$$ then the set of possible values of $$a$$ is

If $$x$$ is real, the maximum value of $${{3{x^2} + 9x + 17} \over {3{x^2} + 9x + 7}}$$ is

All the values of $$m$$ for which both roots of the equation $${x^2} - 2mx + {m^2} - 1 = 0$$ are greater than $$ - 2$$ but less then 4, lie in the interval

If the roots of the quadratic equation $${x^2} + px + q = 0$$ are $$\tan {30^ \circ }$$ and $$\tan {15^ \circ }$$, respectively, then the value of $$2 + q - p$$ is
