INMO 2020 Problem 2

    Suppose P(x)P(x) is a polynomial with real coefficients satsfying the condition P(cos⁡θ+sin⁡θ)=P(\cos \theta+\sin \theta)= P(cos⁡θ−sin⁡θ)P(\cos \theta-\sin \theta), for every real θ\theta. Prove that P(x)P(x) can be expressed in the form

    P(x)=a0+a1(1−x2)2+a2(1−x2)4+⋯+an(1−x2)2nP(x)=a_{0}+a_{1}\left(1-x^{2}\right)^{2}+a_{2}\left(1-x^{2}\right)^{4}+\cdots+a_{n}\left(1-x^{2}\right)^{2 n}

    for some real numbers a0,a1,a2,…,ana_{0}, a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{n} and nonnegative integer nn.
