Let $a, b$ and $c$ be positive real numbers. If $\frac{x^2-bx}{ax-c} = \frac{m-1}{m+1}$ has two roots which are numerically equal but opposite in sign,then the value of $m$ is

If $\alpha, \beta$ are roots of the equation $x^{2}+5 \sqrt{2} x+10=0$,$\alpha > \beta$ and $P_{n}=\alpha^{n}-\beta^{n}$ for each positive integer $n$,then the value of $\left(\frac{P_{17} P_{20}+5 \sqrt{2} P_{17} P_{19}}{P_{18} P_{19}+5 \sqrt{2} P_{18}^{2}}\right)$ is equal to $....$

If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the roots of the equation $a x^2+b x+c=0$ and if $p x^2+q x+r=0$ has roots $\frac{1-\alpha}{\alpha}$ and $\frac{1-\beta}{\beta}$,then $r$ is equal to

If $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ are the roots of the equation $x^3+3x^2+4x+5=0$,then the cubic equation whose roots are $1+4\alpha$,$1+4\beta$ and $1+4\gamma$ is

If one root of the quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ is equal to the $n$th power of the other,then $(ac^n)^{1/(n+1)} + (a^nc)^{1/(n+1)} =$

If the ratio of two roots of the equation $x^3 - 9x^2 + 14x + 24 = 0$ is $3 : 2$,find the roots of the equation.
