The number of distinct real roots of the equation $x^{5}\left(x^{3}-x^{2}-x+1\right)+x\left(3 x^{3}-4 x^{2}-2 x+4\right)-1=0$ is

If $\sqrt {3{x^2} - 7x - 30} + \sqrt {2{x^2} - 7x - 5} = x + 5$,then $x$ is equal to

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be two real numbers such that $\alpha+\beta=1$ and $\alpha \beta=-1 .$ Let $p _{ n }=(\alpha)^{ n }+(\beta)^{ n },p _{ n -1}=11$ and $p _{ n +1}=29$ for some integer $n \geq 1 .$ Then, the value of $p _{ n }^{2}$ is .... .

If $\alpha ,\,\beta ,\,\gamma $ are the roots of the equation ${x^3} + 4x + 1 = 0,$ then ${(\alpha + \beta )^{ - 1}} + {(\beta + \gamma )^{ - 1}} + {(\gamma + \alpha )^{ - 1}} = $

Consider the equation $(1+a+b)^2=3\left(1+a^2+b^{2})\right.$ where $a, b$ are real numbers. Then,

Let $a$ be the largest real root and $b$ be the smallest real root of the polynomial equation $x^6-6 x^5+15 x^4-20 x^3+15 x^2-6 x+1=0$ Then $\frac{a^2+b^2}{a+b+1}$ is
