The equation $x^3 + (2r + 1)x^2 + (4r - 1)x + 2 = 0$ has $- 2$ as one of the roots. If the other two roots are real, then the minimum possible non-negative integer value of $r$ is

The roots $\alpha, \beta$ of the equation $3 x^{2}+\lambda x-1=0$, satisfy $\frac{1}{\alpha^{2}}+\frac{1}{\beta^{2}}=15$. The value of $\left(\alpha^{3}+\beta^{3}\right)^{2}$, is

If $f(x)=(x^2+3x)(x^2+3x+2)$, then the sum of all real roots of the equation $\sqrt{f(x)+1}=9701$, is
