2013 AIME I Problem 10
There are nonzero integers a, b, r, and s such that the complex number r+si is a zero of the polynomial P(x)={x}^{3}-a{x}^{2}+bx-65. For each possible combination of a and b, let {p}_{a,b} be the sum of the zeros of P(x). Find the sum of the {p}_{a,b}'s for all possible combinations of a and b.
Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
