Let $f: R \rightarrow R$ be the function $f(x)=\left(x-a_1\right)\left(x-a_2\right)$ $+\left(x-a_2\right)\left(x-a_3\right)+\left(x-a_3\right)\left(x-a_1\right)$ with $a_1, a_2, a_3 \in R$.Then, $f(x) \geq 0$ if and only if

If $\alpha ,\beta,\gamma$ are the roots of equation $x^3 + 2x -5 = 0$ and if equation $x^3 + bx^2 + cx + d = 0$ has roots $2 \alpha + 1, 2 \beta + 1, 2 \gamma + 1$ , then value of $|b + c + d|$ is (where $b,c,d$ are coprime)-
