1)
let the roots be a,b,c
a+b+c=1
ab+bc+ca=-9λ
abc=λ
since a,b,c are all positive so -9λ has to be positive
so λ<0
but abc=λ means λhas to be ≥0
hence λ=0
which gives x=0

2) If n = 2m
then ans = 1 + 3 + 5 + .. + 2m-1
= m^2 = n^2/4
If n = 2m+1
then ans = 1 + 3 + 5 + ... + 2m+1
= (m+1)^2 = (n+1)^2/4
