ABC do 2

Algebra Level 3

Given that P 1 ( x ) = x 2 + a 1 x + b 1 P_1(x) = x^2 + a_1 x + b_1 and P 2 ( x ) = x 2 + a 2 x + b 2 P_2(x) = x^2 + a_2 x + b_2 are two quadratic polynomials with integer coefficients such that P 1 ( m ) = P 2 ( n ) P_1(m) = P_2 (n) , P 1 ( n ) = P 2 ( m ) P_1(n)= P_2(m) , a 1 a 2 a_1 \ne a_2 , and m m and n n are distinct integers. What can be said about a 1 a_1 + a 2 a_2 ?
