Is there a limit to how many integer-valued strictly increasing quadratic functions $f(x):=ax^2+bx+c$ can be guaranteed to yield coprime values for a given $x\in\mathbb N$?
For example, the values of
$$x^2+x+1 \\ x^2+x+5 \\ 2x^2+2x+7$$
are always mutually coprime. I've found I can't do much better than about a dozen of these before it seems impossible to add another one, so I'm wondering if there's a good reason behind it.
With quadratic and even with linear polynomials we can get an arbitrarily large set.
For example, take the sequence $$ 50! x^2 + 53, 50! x^2 + 59, 50! x^2 + 61, \dots, 50! x^2 + 89, 50! x^2 + 97. $$ Here, I began by choosing all the prime numbers in the range $[50,100]$ as the constant terms. Their differences are all numbers in the range $[0,50]$.
So I added $50! x^2$ to each polynomial (I could have added $50! x$). Since $50!x^2$ is always divisible by primes in the range $[2,50]$ but the constant term never is, none of these polynomials are ever divisible by any of these small primes, and so their GCDs are always $1$.
In general, for any $k$, we can take the polynomials $k! x^2 + p$ for prime numbers $p$ in the range $(k,2k]$, and they will be relatively prime at any natural number $x$ for a similar reason. The number of such primes grows without bound, and therefore so does the number of polynomials we get.
