Let $$\alpha ,\,\beta $$ be the roots of the equation $${x^2} - px + r = 0$$ and $${\alpha \over 2},\,2\beta $$ be the roots of the equation $${x^2} - qx + r = 0$$. Then the value of $$r$$

Let $\mathbb{R}$ denote the set of all real numbers. Let $a_i, b_i \in \mathbb{R}$ for $i \in \{1, 2, 3\}$.

Define the functions $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$, $g: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$, and $h: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ by

$f(x) = a_1 + 10x + a_2 x^2 + a_3 x^3 + x^4$

$g(x) = b_1 + 3x + b_2 x^2 + b_3 x^3 + x^4$

$h(x) = f(x + 1) - g(x + 2)$

If $f(x) \neq g(x)$ for every $x \in \mathbb{R}$, then the coefficient of $x^3$ in $h(x)$ is

Suppose a, b denote the distinct real roots of the quadratic polynomial x² + 20x $$-$$ 2020 and suppose c, d denote the distinct complex roots of the quadratic polynomial x² $$-$$ 20x + 2020. Then the value of

ac(a $$-$$ c) + ad(a $$-$$ d) + bc(b $$-$$ c) + bd(b $$-$$ d) is

Let p, q be integers and let $$\alpha $$, $$\beta $$ be the roots of the equation, x² $$-$$ x $$-$$ 1 = 0 where $$\alpha $$ $$ \ne $$ $$\beta $$. For n = 0, 1, 2, ........, let a_n = p$$\alpha $$ⁿ + q$$\beta $$ⁿ.

FACT : If a and b are rational numbers and a + b$$\sqrt 5 $$ = 0, then a = 0 = b.
