If the roots of the equation $2x^2 - 3x + 5 = 0$ are the reciprocals of the roots of the equation $ax^2 + bx + 2 = 0$,then:

If $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are the roots of the equation $5x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0$,then find the value of $\sum \alpha^2 \beta^2$.

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the roots of $x^2 - 6x - 2 = 0$,where $\alpha > \beta$. If $a_n = \alpha^n - \beta^n$ for all $n \geq 1$,then what is the value of $\frac{a_{10} - 2a_8}{2a_9}$?

If $\alpha, \beta$ are the roots of $x^2 + px + 1 = 0$ and $\gamma, \delta$ are the roots of $x^2 + qx + 1 = 0$,then $(\alpha - \gamma) (\beta - \gamma) (\alpha + \delta) (\beta + \delta) = \dots$

If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the roots of the equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ ($a \ne 0$; $a, b, c$ being distinct),then $(1 + \alpha + \alpha^2)(1 + \beta + \beta^2) = $

The condition that $x^3 - p x^2 + q x - r = 0$ may have two of its roots equal to each other but of opposite sign is
