Let $$\mathrm{S}$$ be the set of positive integral values of $$a$$ for which $$\frac{a x^2+2(a+1) x+9 a+4}{x^2-8 x+32} < 0, \forall x \in \mathbb{R}$$. Then, the number of elements in $$\mathrm{S}$$ is :

If $$\alpha, \beta$$ are the roots of the equation, $$x^2-x-1=0$$ and $$S_n=2023 \alpha^n+2024 \beta^n$$, then :

Let $$\alpha, \beta$$ be the roots of the equation $$x^{2}-\sqrt{2} x+2=0$$. Then $$\alpha^{14}+\beta^{14}$$ is equal to
