AIME 2013a Problem 10

  • Paper
  • Answer

There are nonzero integers aa, bb, rr, and ss such that the complex number r+sir+si is a zero of the polynomial P(x)=x3−ax2+bx−65P(x)={x}^{3}-a{x}^{2}+bx-65. For each possible combination of aa and bb, let pa,b{p}_{a,b} be the sum of the zeros of P(x)P(x). Find the sum of the pa,b{p}_{a,b}'s for all possible combinations of aa and bb.
