Consider two functions f(x)=−4x2+14x+4g(x)=−7x2+8x+3.\begin{aligned} f(x) &= -4x^2 + 14 x + 4 \\ g(x) &= -7 x^2 + 8 x + 3. \end{aligned} Let a a be the maximum value of f(x)+g(x), f(x) + g(x) , and bb the value of xx at that moment. Then what is the value of a+b? a+b?

Consider the parabola y=x2+k4+p4−2k2x−2p2x+2k2p2+36,y = x^2 + k^4 + p^4 -2k^2 x -2p^2x + 2k^2p^2 + 36, where kk and pp are parameters. If the vertex of the parabola lies on the line y=125x, y = \frac{ 1 }{25} x, what is the value of k2+p2? k^2 + p^2?
