A polynomial cdxd+cd−1xd−1+⋯+c1x+c0c_{d}x^{d} + c_{d - 1}x^{d - 1} + \dots + c_{1}x + c_{0} with degree dd is reflexive if there is an integer n≥dn \geq d such that ci=cn−ic_{i} = c_{n - i} for every 0≤i≤n0 \leq i \leq n , where ci=0c_{i} = 0 for i>di > d . Let ℓ≥2\ell \geq 2 be an integer and p(x)p(x) be a polynomial with integer coefficients. Prove that there exist reflexive polynomials q(x),r(x)q(x), r(x) with integer coefficients such that

(1+x+x2+⋯+xℓ−1)p(x)=q(x)+xℓr(x).(1 + x + x^{2} + \dots + x^{\ell -1})p(x) = q(x) + x^{\ell}r(x).
