AIME 2020b Problem 11

  • Paper
  • Answer

Let P(x)=x2−3x−7P(x) = x^2 - 3x - 7, and let Q(x)Q(x) and R(x)R(x) be two quadratic polynomials also with the coefficient of x2x^2 equal to 11. David computes each of the three sums P+QP + Q, P+RP + R, and Q+RQ + R and is surprised to find that each pair of these sums has a common root, and these three common roots are distinct. If Q(0)=2Q(0) = 2, then R(0)=mnR(0) = \frac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+nm + n.
