Taking the intersection of the sets in (1), (2) Let x2 – x – 6 = (x + 2) (x – 3) ≥ 0

x2 + ax + b = 0, roots α , β Let x2 – x – 6 < 0
⇒ x ∈ (–2, 3) ........ (3)
∴ α + β = – a, α β = b
The equation becomes
( α – β )2 = ( α + β )2 – 4 α β
x2 – x – 6 + x + 2 = 0

x2 + bx + a = 0, roots γ , δ (1), (3) ⇒ x = 2, – 2
γ + δ = –b, γ δ = a ∴ The roots are x = 2, –2, 4. Sum = 4.

⇒ a2 – b2 + 4(a – b) = 0 ⇒ b2 + 3ca < 0 ..... (1)

a + b + 4 = 0. ⇒ ca < 0.

Here, f(x) = x2 + ax + b, then
