  • Answer

The polynomial f(x)=x2007+17x2006+1f(x)=x^{2007}+17 x^{2006}+1 has distinct zeroes r1,…,r2007r_{1}, \ldots, r_{2007}. A polynomial PP of degree 2007 has the property that P(rj+1rj)=0P\left(r_{j}+\frac{1}{r_{j}}\right)=0 for j=1,…,2007j=1, \ldots, 2007. Determine the value of P(1)/P(−1)P(1) / P(-1).
