If $a$, $b$, $c$ some integers and consider $f(x)$ = $($$x^2$ + $bx$+ $c$) $\div$ $(x + a)$ in the domain (-$\infty$, a) $\cup$ (-a, $\infty$) then prove the following:
(A) For $a^2$ - $ab$ + $c$ = $1$, then the graph $f(x)$ contains exactly four integral points. Namely, $(-a + 1, b – 2a + 2)$, $(-a + 1, b – 2a-2)$, $(-a - 1, b – 2a + 2)$ and $(-a -1, b – 2a – 2)$.
(B) For $a^2$ - $ab$ + $c$ = $-1$, then the graph $f(x)$ contains exactly two integral points. Namely, $(-a + 1, b – 2a)$, $(-a - 1, b – 2a)$.
Thanks to all members of this site.
Note that $$(x^2+bx+c)=(x+a)(x+b-a)+(a^2-ab+s). $$
