Coefficient of x in ${(1 + x)}^{p} {(1 - x)}^{q} = -^{p} {C_{0}}^{q} C_{1} +^{p} {C_{1}}^{q} C_{0} = - 3 \Rightarrow p - q = 3$

Coefficient of x² in ${(1 + x)}^{p} {(1 - x)}^{q} =^{p} {C_{0}}^{q} C_{2} -^{p} {C_{1}}^{q} C_{1} -^{p} {C_{2}}^{q} C_{0} = - 5$

$\Rightarrow \frac{q (q - 1)}{2} - p q + \frac{p (p - 1)}{2} = - 5 \Rightarrow \frac{q (q - 1)}{2} - (q - 3) q + \frac{(q - 3) (q - 4)}{2} = - 5 \Rightarrow q = 11, p = 8$

Coefficient of x³ in ${(1 + x)}^{8} {(1 - x)}^{11} = -^{11} C_{3} +^{8} {C_{1}}^{11} C_{2} -^{8} {C_{2}}^{11} C_{1} +^{8} C_{3} = 23$

$| \frac{1}{2} - 2 i + 1 | = α (\frac{1}{2} - 2 i) + β (1 + i)$

$\sqrt[]{\frac{9}{4} + 4} = α (\frac{1}{2} - 2 i) + β (1 + i)$

$\frac{5}{2} = α (\frac{1}{2}) + β + i (- 2 α + β)$

Solving (1) and (2)

$\frac{α}{2} + 2 α = \frac{5}{2}$

$\frac{6 0^{2} + 6 0^{2} + 4 4^{2} + 5 8^{2} + 6 8^{2} + α^{2} + β^{2} + 5 6^{2}}{8} = {(58)}^{2} = 66.2$

$\frac{7200 + 1936 + 3364 + 4624 + 3136 + α^{2} + β^{2}}{8} = 3364 = 66.2$

$2532.5 + \frac{α^{2} + β^{2}}{8} - 3364 = 66.2$

(1) $\bar{E} : \frac{6!}{2!} = 360$

(2) $\bar{G E} : \frac{5!}{2!},$ $\bar{G N} : \frac{5!}{2!}$
