f(x) is a polynomial function with positive integral coefficients degree of f is greater than or equal to 1 k takes 3 value a,b,c The equation (x-a)(x-b)(x-c)=1 whose roots are given by then
find (a+b) find a+b

( x − a ) ( x − b ) ( x − c ) − 1 = p ( x ) q ( x ) ......(1)
let p(x) is linear and q(x) is quadratic with integral coefficients
p ( a ) q ( a ) = p ( b ) q ( b ) = p ( c ) q ( c ) = − 1
as p(a) is has integer coefficients and a is an integer
similarly with b and c
p ( a ) = 1 o r − 1
similar with b and c
a linear polynomial being one one cannot attain one- value for two numbers
therefore (1) as irrational roots
therefore the given limit =0 as x i → i r r a t i o n a l
