  • sum of 2025th powers of roots of x^8+...+1
  • difference between max and min roots
  • roots of x^2 - x + p and x^2 - 4x + q in GP -> p + q (Indore 2019 Q41)
  • (x^2 - 5)^4 + (x^2 - 7)^4 = 16: max root - min root (Indore 2024 Q25)
  • roots of x^8 + x^7 + ... + 1 = 0: sum of 2025th powers (Indore 2025 MCQ Q7)
  • (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 4) = 24, biquadratics
