Solve this equation $2x^4 + 3x^3 -16x^2+3x + 2 =0$.

Solve this equation: $(x^2-x-1)^{x+2}=1$.

Let real numbers $a, b, c, d$ satisfy $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{ccl} ax+by&=3\\ ax^2+by^2&=7\\ ax^3+by^3&=16\\ ax^4 + by^4 &=42 \end{array} \right. $$ Find $ax^5+by^5$.

If all roots of the equation $$x^4-16x^3+(81-2a)x^2 +(16a-142)x+(a^2-21a+68)=0$$ are integers, find the value of $a$ and solve this equation.
