(ITA) Double Polynomial

Level pending

Consider the polynomial P ( m ) + 3 m + 18 = α m P(m) + 3m + 18 = \alpha m , where α \alpha is a real constant such that the sum of all roots of P P equals 3 3 .

Evaluate the root m m such that two, and only two, roots of the polynomial Q ( n ) = n 3 + m n 2 + ( m + 4 ) n + 5 = 0 Q(n) = n^3 +m^{}n^2 + (m+4)n + 5 = 0 are in the open interval ( 2 , 2 ) (-2, 2) .
