the equation x⁴ -594= ax³ + bx² + cx has exactly 3 distinct integral roots. if a, b and c are real numbers, then answer the following questions
1. find largest value of b
2. find minimum possible value of a

Question

Shubhmanu Kabhaker · Answer

let roots be r1 r2 r3 
sum of roots b
r1r2r3+ r1r3^2+ r2r3^2= c
product r1.r2.r3^2 =d
trial and error r1=1 r2=6 r3=3
a=13 
b=36
