let α,β two roots of x^2 +ax+1=0 αβ=1 and α,β are integers (irrational roots come in pair if the coefficient of polynomial equation are rational but two equations have only one common root,so α&β are rational,and a should be an integer so α&β are integers⇒α=1,β=1 or α=−1,β=−1) ⇒α+β=±2 a may be ±2 if a=2 ⇒x^2 +x+2=0 ∴x has no real root ⇒a≠2 if a=−2 ⇒x^2 +x−2=0 ⇒(x+2)(x−1)=0 ⇒x=−2 or x=1(integer root) ⇒a=−2 ⇒x^2 −2x+1=0 ⇒(x−1)^2 =0 ⇒x=1 ∴x^2 +bx+c has a root 1 ⇒1+b+c=0 ⇒b+c=−1 ⇒a+b+c=−3

Wow God bless you sir, how is α + β = ± 2. i understand αβ = 1, because αβ = (c/a)
$$\mathrm{Wow}\:\mathrm{God}\:\mathrm{bless}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{sir},\:\:\mathrm{how}\:\mathrm{is}\:\:\:\:\alpha\:+\:\beta\:=\:\pm\:\mathrm{2}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{i}\:\mathrm{understand}\:\:\alpha\beta\:=\:\mathrm{1},\:\:\:\:\mathrm{because}\:\alpha\beta\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{a}} \\ $$

Or since αβ = 1, then α = 1, β = 1
$$\mathrm{Or}\:\mathrm{since}\:\:\alpha\beta\:=\:\mathrm{1},\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{then}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\alpha\:=\:\mathrm{1},\:\beta\:=\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$
