$\alpha$ is the maximum value of $1-2x-5x^2$ and $\beta$ is the minimum value of $x^2-2x+r$. If $5\alpha x^2+\beta x+6>0$ for all real values of $x$,then the interval in which $r$ lies is

The adjoining figure shows the graph of $y = a{x^2} + bx + c$. Then:

If the equation whose roots are $p$ times the roots of the equation $x^4-2ax^3+4bx^2+8ax+16=0$ is a reciprocal equation,then $|p|=$ :

$A$ student,while solving a quadratic equation in $x$,copied its constant term incorrectly and obtained the roots as $5$ and $9$. Another student copied the constant term and the coefficient of $x^2$ of the same equation correctly as $12$ and $4$ respectively. If $s$,$p$,and $\Delta$ denote the sum of the roots,the product of the roots,and the discriminant of the correct equation respectively,then find the value of $\frac{\Delta}{3p+s}$.

The minimum value of $f(x) = \frac{x^2-2x+3}{x^2-4x+7}$ is

Let $\alpha_\theta$ and $\beta_\theta$ be the distinct roots of $2x^2 + (\cos \theta)x - 1 = 0$,where $\theta \in (0, 2\pi)$. If $m$ and $M$ are the minimum and the maximum values of $\alpha_\theta^4 + \beta_\theta^4$,then $16(M + m)$ equals:
