A quadratic equation $x^{2}+b x+c=0$ has two real roots. It the difference between the reciprocals of the roots is $1 / 3$ and the sum of the reciprocals of the squares of the roots is $5 / 9$, then the largest possible value of ( $b+c$ ) is

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

The equations $3x^2 - 5x + p = 0$ and $2x^2 - 2x + q = 0$ have one common root. The sum of the other roots of these two equations is
