AMC 12 2010b Problem 23

  • Paper

Monic quadratic polynomials P(x)P(x) and Q(x)Q(x) have the property that P(Q(x))P(Q(x)) has zeros at x=−23,−21,−17,x=-23, -21, -17, and −15-15, and Q(P(x))Q(P(x)) has zeros at x=−59,−57,−51x=-59,-57,-51 and −49-49. What is the sum of the minimum values of P(x)P(x) and Q(x)Q(x)?
