The difference between any two consecutive interior angles of a polygon is $5^{\circ}$ If the smallest angle is $120^{\circ},$ find the number of the sides of the polygon.
The difference between any two consecutive interior angles of a polygon is $5^{\circ}$ If the smallest angle is $120^{\circ},$ find the number of the sides of the polygon.
The angles of the polygon will form an $A.P.$ with common difference $d$ as $5^{\circ}$ and first term $a$ as $120^{\circ}$
It is known that the sum of all angles of a polygon with $n$ sides is $180(n-2)$
$\therefore S_{n}=180^{\circ}(n-2)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1) d]=180^{\circ}(n-2)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{n}{2}\left[240^{\circ}+(n-1) 5^{\circ}\right]=180^{\circ}(n-2)$
$\Rightarrow n[240+(n-1) 5]=360(n-2)$
$\Rightarrow 240 n+5 n^{2}-5 n=360 n-720$
$\Rightarrow 5 n^{2}-125 n+720=0$
$\Rightarrow n^{2}-25 n+144=0$
$\Rightarrow n^{2}-16 n-9 n+144=0$
$\Rightarrow n(n-16)-9(n-16)=0$
$\Rightarrow(n-9)(n-16)=0$
$\Rightarrow n=9$ or $16$

For $p, q \in R$, consider the real valued function $f ( x )=( x - p )^{2}- q , x \in R$ and $q >0$. Let $a _{1}, a _{2}, a _{3}$ and $a _{4}$ be in an arithmetic progression with mean $P$ and positive common difference. If $\left| f \left( a _{ i }\right)\right|=500$ for all $i=1,2,3,4$, then the absolute difference between the roots of $f ( x )=0$ is.
