Let P(x)=x3+ax2+bP(x)=x^3+ax^2+b and Q(x)=x3+bx+aQ(x)=x^3+bx+a , where aa and bb are nonzero real numbers. Suppose that the roots of the equation P(x)=0P(x)=0 are the reciprocals of the roots of the equation Q(x)=0Q(x)=0 . Prove that aa and bb are integers. Find the greatest common divisor of P(2013!+1)P(2013!+1) and Q(2013!+1)Q(2013!+1) .
