Let $S=\left\{\sin ^2 2 \theta:\left(\sin ^4 \theta+\cos ^4 \theta\right) x^2+(\sin 2 \theta) x+\right.$ $\left(\sin ^6 \theta+\cos ^6 \theta\right)=0$ has real roots $\}$. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the smallest and largest elements of the set $S$, respectively, then $3\left((\alpha-2)^2+(\beta-1)^2\right)$ equals....................

If ${x^2} + px + 1$ is a factor of the expression $a{x^3} + bx + c$, then

The value of $x$ in the given equation ${4^x} - {3^{x\,\; - \;\frac{1}{2}}} = {3^{x + \frac{1}{2}}} - {2^{2x - 1}}$is

Consider a three-digit number with the following properties:

$I$. If its digits in units place and tens place are interchanged, the number increases by $36$ ;

$II.$ If its digits in units place and hundreds place are interchanged, the number decreases by $198 .$

Now, suppose that the digits in tens place and hundreds place are interchanged. Then, the number

If $\alpha $, $\beta$, $\gamma$  are roots of ${x^3} - 2{x^2} + 3x - 2 = 0$ , then the value of$\left( {\frac{{\alpha \beta }}{{\alpha  + \beta }} + \frac{{\alpha \gamma }}{{\alpha  + \gamma }} + \frac{{\beta \gamma }}{{\beta  + \gamma }}} \right)$ is

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the two disinct roots of the equation $x^3 + 3x^2 -1 = 0.$ The equation which has $(\alpha \beta )$ as its root is equal to
