Let $$\alpha \,,\,\beta $$ be the roots of the equation (x - a) (x - b) = c, $$c \ne 0$$. Then the roots of the equation $$(x - \alpha \,)\,(x - \beta ) + c = 0$$ are

The expansion $${\left( {x + {{\left( {{x^3} - 1} \right)}^{{1 \over 2}}}} \right)^5} + {\left( {x - {{\left( {{x^3} - 1} \right)}^{{1 \over 2}}}} \right)^5}$$ is a polynomial of degree

Let $$p \ge 3$$ be an integer and $$\alpha $$, $$\beta $$ be the roots of $${x^2} - \left( {p + 1} \right)x + 1 = 0$$ using mathematical induction show that $${\alpha ^n} + {\beta ^n}.$$
(i) is an integer and (ii) is not divisible by $$p$$

If $$\sum\limits_{r = 0}^{2n} {{a_r}{{\left( {x - 2} \right)}^r}\,\, = \sum\limits_{r = 0}^{2n} {{b_r}{{\left( {x - 3} \right)}^r}} } $$ and $${a_k} = 1$$ for all $$k \ge n,$$ then show that $${b_n} = {}^{2n + 1}{C_{n + 1}}$$
