Let $f(x)$ be quadratic polynomial in $x$ such that $f(x) \geq 0$ for all real numbers $x$. if $f(2)=0$ and $f(4)=6$, then $f(-2)$ is equal to

Let $A$ be a real number. Then the roots of the equation $x^2 - 4x - \log_2A = 0$ are real and distinct if and only if

Let $f(x)=x^{2}+a x+b$ and $g(x)=f(x+1)-f(x-1)$. If $f(x) \geq 0$ for all real $x$, and $g(20)=72$, then the smallest possible value of $b$ is
