Let the quadratic curve passing through the point $(-1, 0)$ and touching the line $y = x$ at $(1, 1)$ be $y = f(x)$. Then the $x$-intercept of the normal to the curve at the point $(\alpha, \alpha + 1)$ in the first quadrant is $..........$.

If the tangent drawn at the point $(x_1, y_1)$,where $x_1, y_1 \in \mathbb{N}$,on the curve $y = x^4 - 2x^3 + x^2 + 5x$ passes through the origin,then $x_1 + y_1 =$

If $P$ and $Q$ are two different points on the curve $y = x^3 - x$ such that the tangent at $P$ intersects the curve again at $Q$,then $\frac{m_{OQ} + 1}{m_{OP} + 1}$ is equal to,where $O$ is the origin and $m_{AB}$ represents the slope of the line segment $AB$.

The intercepts on the $x$-axis made by tangents to the curve $y = \int_{0}^{x} |t| dt, x \in R$ which are parallel to the line $y = 2x$ are equal to:
