Let a(alpha) and b(beta) be two roots of the equation x^2+kx+9=0, where k is a constant.
(a) Express (a+2)(b+2) in terms of k.
(b) If a+2 and b+2 are two roots of the equation y^2+ay+b=0, where a and b are constants, express a and b in terms of k.
(c) If the equation y^2+ay+b=0 has equal real roots, find the values of k.3)
(a) Find the L.C.M. of x^2-3x-10 and x^3+10x^2+16x.
(b) Simplify 1/(x^2-3x-10) - 1/(x^3+10x^2+16x).
