Let x,x1,x2,x3,x4,…,x8x, x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, \dots, x_8 be 10 real zeros, of the polynomial P(x)=x10+ax2+bx+cP(x) = x^{10} + ax^2 + bx + c where a,b,c∈Ra, b, c \in \mathbb{R}. If the value of Q(x1)=pqQ(x_1) = \frac{p}{q}, where pp and qq are coprime to each other. If Q(x)=(x−x2)(x−x3)…(x−x8)Q(x) = (x - x_2)(x - x_3) \dots (x - x_8) and x1=12x_1 = \frac{1}{2}, then the value of q−pq - p is .....
