Quadratic Equations

If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the roots of equation $x^2+p x+2=0$ and $\frac{1}{\alpha}$ and $\frac{1}{\beta}$ are roots of equation $2 x^2+2 q x+1=0$, then $\left(\alpha-\frac{1}{\alpha}\right)\left(\beta-\frac{1}{\beta}\right)\left(\alpha+\...

If $[x]$ denotes the integral part of $x$ and $k=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1+t^2}{2 t}\right)>0$, then number of values of $\alpha$ for which the equation $(x-[k])(x+\alpha)-1$ has integral roots

Given, $\frac{x^2+y^2}{x^2-y^2}+\frac{x^2-y^2}{x^2+y^2}=k$, then $\frac{x^8+y^8}{x^8-y^8}$ is equal to
