Let P(x) = x2 + bx + c where b and c are integer. If P(x) is a factor of both x4 + 6x2 + 25 and 3x4 + 4x2 +28x +5 , find the value of P(1).

if P is a facator of Q and R,

obviously, P is a factor of nQ-mR for all integers n and M

Here

P is a factor of (3x4+4x2+28x+5) - 3(x4+6x2+25)

P is a factor of -14x2+28x-70

Since the coeff of x^2 is 1

so P is x2-2x+5
