BG-MO 1982 Problem 5

    Find all values of parameters a,ba,b for which the polynomial x4+(2a+1)x3+(a−1)2x2+bx+4x^4+(2a+1)x^3+(a-1)^2x^2+bx+4 can be written as a product of two monic quadratic polynomials Φ(x)\Phi(x) and Ψ(x)\Psi(x) , such that the equation Ψ(x)=0\Psi(x)=0 has two distinct roots α,β\alpha,\beta which satisfy Φ(α)=β\Phi(\alpha)=\beta and Φ(β)=α\Phi(\beta)=\alpha .
