If the equation whose roots are $p$ times the roots of the equation $x^4-2ax^3+4bx^2+8ax+16=0$ is a reciprocal equation,then $|p|=$ :

Let $a, b, c$ be the lengths of three sides of a triangle satisfying the condition $(a^2+b^2)x^2-2b(a+c)x+(b^2+c^2)=0$. If the set of all possible values of $x$ is the interval $(\alpha, \beta)$,then $12(\alpha^2+\beta^2)$ is equal to.

$f(x)$ is a quadratic expression such that $f(x)$ is negative when $x \in \left(-\infty, -\frac{5}{3}\right) \cup (3, \infty)$ and positive when $x \in \left(-\frac{5}{3}, 3\right)$. $g(x)$ is another quadratic expression such that $g(x)$ is negative when $x \in \left(3, \frac{9}{2}\right)$ and positive when $x \in \mathbb{R} - \left[3, \frac{9}{2}\right]$. Then,the sign of $f(x)g(x)$ in $[0, 5]$ is

Suppose $a, b, c$ are three distinct real numbers. Let $P(x) = \frac{(x-b)(x-c)}{(a-b)(a-c)} + \frac{(x-c)(x-a)}{(b-c)(b-a)} + \frac{(x-a)(x-b)}{(c-a)(c-b)}$. When simplified,$P(x)$ becomes:

All the roots of the equation $x^5+15x^4+94x^3+305x^2+507x+353=0$ are increased by some real number $k$ in order to eliminate the $4^{th}$ degree term from the equation. Now,the coefficient of $x$ in the transformed equation is

What is the minimum value of $\frac{1 - x + x^2}{1 + x + x^2}$?
