NMC 2015 Problem 3

    Let n>1n>1 and p(x)=xn+an−1xn−1+⋯+a0p(x)=x^{n}+a_{n-1} x^{n-1}+\cdots+a_{0} be a polynomial with nn real roots (counted with multiplicity). Let the polynomial qq be defined by

    q(x)=∏j=12015p(x+j)q(x)=\prod_{j=1}^{2015} p(x+j)

    We know that p(2015)=2015p(2015)=2015. Prove that qq has at least 1970 different roots r1,…,r1970r_{1}, \ldots, r_{1970} such that ∣rj∣<2015\left|r_{j}\right|<2015 for all j=1,…,1970j=1, \ldots, 1970.
