Let P 1 ( x P_1(x ) = = x 2 x^2 + + a 1 x a_1x + + b 1 b_1 and P 2 ( x ) P_2(x) = = x 2 x^2 + + a 2 x a_2x + + b 2 b_2 be two quadratic polynomials with integer coefficients. Suppose a 1 a_1 and a 2 a_2 are distinct and there exist distinct integers m m and n n such that P 1 ( m ) P_1(m) = = P 2 ( n ) P_2(n) and also P 2 ( m ) P_2(m) = = P 1 ( n ) P_1(n) . We can conclude that a 1 a_1 - a 2 a_2 is always :
