Let $$p$$ and $$q$$ be real numbers such that $$p \ne 0,\,{p^3} \ne q$$ and $${p^3} \ne - q.$$ If $${p^3} \ne - q.$$ and $$\,\beta $$ are nonzero complex numbers satisfying $$\alpha \, + \beta = - p\,$$ and $${\alpha ^3} + {\beta ^3} = q,$$ then a quadratic equation having $${\alpha \over \beta }$$ and $${\beta \over \alpha }$$ as its roots is

Let $${S_k}$$= 1, 2,....., 100, denote the sum of the infinite geometric series whose first term is $$\,{{k - 1} \over {k\,!}}$$ and the common ratio is $${1 \over k}$$. Then the value of $${{{{100}^2}} \over {100!}}\,\, + \,\,\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{100} {\left| {({k^2} - 3k + 1)\,\,{S_k}} \right|\,\,} $$ is

Let $$A$$ and $$B$$ be two distinct points on the parabola $${y^2} = 4x$$. If the axis of the parabola touches a circle of radius $$r$$ having $$AB$$ as its diameter, then the slope of the line joining $$A$$ and $$B$$ can be

The circle $${x^2} + {y^2} - 8x = 0$$ and hyperbola $${{{x^2}} \over 9} - {{{y^2}} \over 4} = 1$$ intersect at the points $$A$$ and $$B$$.

Equation of a common tangent with positive slope to the circle as well as to the hyperbola is
