Let a, b $$\in$$ R be such that the equation $$a{x^2} - 2bx + 15 = 0$$ has a repeated root $$\alpha$$. If $$\alpha$$ and $$\beta$$ are the roots of the equation $${x^2} - 2bx + 21 = 0$$, then $${\alpha ^2} + {\beta ^2}$$ is equal to :

The sum of all the real roots of the equation

$$({e^{2x}} - 4)(6{e^{2x}} - 5{e^x} + 1) = 0$$ is

The number of distinct real roots of the equation

x⁷ $$-$$ 7x $$-$$ 2 = 0 is

If the sum of the squares of the reciprocals of the roots $$\alpha$$ and $$\beta$$ of

the equation 3x² + $$\lambda$$x $$-$$ 1 = 0 is 15, then 6($$\alpha$$³ + $$\beta$$³)² is equal to :
