Q> Let a, b, c, d be four real numbers such that a + b + c + d = 8 & ab + ac + ad + bc + bd + cd = 12. Find the greatest possible value of d.
6??

Let p(x) = x^2 + bx + c , where b and c are integers. If p(x) is afactor of both x^4 + 6x^2 + 25 and 3x^4 + 4x^2 + 28x + 5 , what is p(1)?a) 0 b) 4 c) 8 d) 12
p(x)=x^2-2x+5
=>p(1)=1-2+5=4

b)4

4??

but p(x) pe approach kaise kara??

Let p(x) = x^2 + bx + c , where b and c are integers. If p(x) is a factor of both x^4 + 6x^2 + 25 and 3x^4 + 4x^2 + 28x + 5 , what is p(1)?
a) 0
b) 4
c) 8
d) 12


x^4 + 6x^2 + 25= (x^2+5)^2-4x^2=(x^2+5+2x)(x^2+5-2x)

(3x^4 + 4x^2 + 28x + 5)/(x^2+5-2x)=3x^2+6x+1
(3x^4 + 4x^2 + 28x + 5)/(x^2+5+2x)= i don't care

d) ?

pls share the approach for this question guys..

what is the product of 6843256709 and 125 ?
855407088625
855407087625
855400788625
855407088525
855407089625

Didn't notice it was CAT13 thread already.

125= 1000/8

d) ?
hmm .. how u concluded d) ?

doesn't st 1 alone says tht P requires more than 50 days , assuming B doesnt do negative work ?

2+ 3 (2)^1/2

yaar its written that P works faster than Q , so i assumed they actually want to complete the work
