If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the roots of the equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ ($a \neq 0$; $a, b, c \in \mathbb{R}$),then $(1 + \alpha + \alpha^2)(1 + \beta + \beta^2)$ is . . . .

If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the roots of $x^2-10x-8=0$ with $\alpha > \beta$,and $a_n = \alpha^n - \beta^n$ for $n \in N$,then the value of $\frac{a_{10}-8a_8}{5a_9}$ is:

If one root of the equation $4x^2 - 2x + k - 4 = 0$ is the reciprocal of the other,then the value of $k$ is

If $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\alpha}}$ and $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\beta}}$ are the roots of the equation $ax^2 + bx + 1 = 0$ $(a \ne 0, a, b \in R)$,then the equation $x(x + b^3) + (a^3 - 3abx) = 0$ has roots

$\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the roots of $x^2+2x+c=0$. If $\alpha^3+\beta^3=4$,then the value of $c$ is

Let $p$ and $q$ be real numbers such that $p \neq 0, p^3 \neq q$ and $p^3 \neq -q$. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are non-zero numbers satisfying $\alpha + \beta = -p$ and $\alpha^3 + \beta^3 = q$,then find the quadratic equation whose roots are $\frac{\alpha}{\beta}$ and $\frac{\beta}{\alpha}$.
