The number of ordered pairs $(a, b)$ of integers such that $a-b$ is a root of $x^2+ax+b=0$ 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:

Consider the equation $x^2 + \alpha x + \beta = 0$ having roots $\alpha, \beta$ such that $\alpha \neq \beta$. Also consider the inequality $||y - \beta| - \alpha| < \alpha$,then:

Let $x, y, z$ be positive integers such that $HCF(x, y, z)=1$ and $x^2+y^2=2z^2$. Which of the following statements are true?
$I$. $4$ divides $x$ or $4$ divides $y$.
$II$. $3$ divides $x+y$ or $3$ divides $x-y$.
$III$. $5$ divides $z(x^2-y^2)$.

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

Let $\alpha, \beta$ be the roots of the equation $x^2 - x + p = 0$ and $\gamma, \delta$ be the roots of the equation $x^2 - 4x + q = 0$, where $p, q \in Z$. If $\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta$ are in $G$.$P$.,then $|p + q|$ equals:
