If the equation $x^3-7x^2+14x-8=0$ is transformed to $y^3+py-\frac{20}{27}=0$ when its roots are diminished by $k$,then $p=$

If $y = \frac{x^2 + 14x + 9}{x^2 + 2x + 3}$ for all $x \in R$,then the interval of maximum length in which $y$ lies is

The curves $y=x^2+9x+20$ and $y=x^2+bx+c$ intersect the $X$-axis at the points $(\alpha_i, 0)$ for $i=1, 2, 3, 4$. If $\alpha_1 < \alpha_2 < \alpha_3 < \alpha_4$ are such that $|\alpha_1-\alpha_3|=|\alpha_2-\alpha_4|=8$,then the sum of all possible values of $b$ and $c$ is:

Let $\lambda \in R$ and let the equation $E$ be $|x|^2 - 2|x| + |\lambda - 3| = 0$. Then the largest element in the set $S = \{x + \lambda : x \text{ is an integer solution of } E\}$ is $..........$

Let $[r]$ denote the greatest integer not exceeding $r$. The roots of the equation $3 x^2 + 6 x + 5 + \alpha (x^2 + 2 x + 2) = 0$ are complex numbers whenever $\alpha > L$ or $\alpha < M$. If $(L - M)$ is minimum,then the greatest value of $[r]$ such that $L y^2 + M y + r < 0$ for all $y \in R$ is:

If $x$ is real, then the value of $\frac{x^2-3x+4}{x^2+3x+4}$ lies in the interval
