    A function g(x)g(x) is defined by g(x)=2x37x2+dxeg(x) = 2x^3 - 7x^2 + dx - e, where d,eRd, e \in \mathbb{R}. α,β\alpha, \beta and γ\gamma are the three roots of the equation g(x)=0g(x) = 0 where α,β,γR\alpha, \beta, \gamma \in \mathbb{R}.

(a) Write down the value of α+β+γ\alpha + \beta + \gamma.

A function h(z)h(z) is defined by h(z)=2z511z4+rz3+sz2+tz20h(z) = 2z^5 - 11z^4 + rz^3 + sz^2 + tz - 20, where r,s,tRr, s, t \in \mathbb{R}. α,β\alpha, \beta and γ\gamma are also roots of the equation h(z)=0h(z) = 0. It is given that h(z)=0h(z) = 0 is satisfied by the complex number z=p+3iz = p + 3i.

(b) Show that p=1p = 1.

It is now given that h ⁣(12)=0h\!\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = 0, and α,βZ+,α<β\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{Z}^+, \alpha < \beta and γQ\gamma \in \mathbb{Q}.

(c) (i) Find the value of the product αβ\alpha\beta.

(ii) Write down the value of α\alpha and the value of β\beta.
