Is it true that, if \(b>a+c>0\), then the quadratic equation \(ax^2 +bx+c=0\) has two roots?
Compute the following: \[\frac{(2001\times 2021 +100)(1991\times 2031 +400)}{2011^4}.\]
Prove that, if \(b=a-1\), then \[(a+b)(a^2 +b^2)(a^4 +b^4)\dotsb(a^{32} +b^{32})=a^{64} -b^{64}.\]
Prove the following formulae are true: \[\begin{aligned} a^{n + 1} - b^{n + 1} &= (a - b) (a^n + a^{n-1}b + \dots + b^n);\\ a^{2n + 1} + b^{2n + 1} &= (a + b) (a^{2n} - a^{2n-1}b + a^{2n-2}b^2 - \dots + b^{2n}). \end{aligned}\]
Derive from the theorem in question 61013 that \(\sqrt{17}\) is an irrational number.
For a given polynomial \(P (x)\) we describe a method that allows us to construct a polynomial \(R (x)\) that has the same roots as \(P (x)\), but all multiplicities of 1. Set \(Q (x) = (P(x), P'(x))\) and \(R (x) = P (x) Q^{-1} (x)\). Prove that
a) all the roots of the polynomial \(P (x)\) are the roots of \(R (x)\);
b) the polynomial \(R (x)\) has no multiple roots.
Construct the polynomial \(R (x)\) from the problem 61019 if:
a) \(P (x) = x^6 - 6x^4 - 4x^3 + 9x^2 + 12x + 4\);
b)\(P (x) = x^5 + x^4 - 2x^3 - 2x^2 + x + 1\).
Let it be known that all the roots of some equation \(x^3 + px^2 + qx + r = 0\) are positive. What additional condition must be satisfied by its coefficients \(p, q\) and \(r\) in order for it to be possible to form a triangle from segments whose lengths are equal to these roots?
Find the coefficient of \(x\) for the polynomial \((x - a) (x - b) (x - c) \dots (x - z)\).
