TH-TMO 2021 Problem 10

    Let d≥13d\geq 13 be an integer, and let P(x)=adxd+ad−1xd−1+⋯+a1x+a0P(x) = a_dx^d + a_{d-1}x^{d-1} + \dots + a_1x+a_0 be a polynomial of degree dd with complex coefficients such that an=ad−na_n = a_{d-n} for all n∈{0,1,…,d}n\in\{0,1,\dots,d\} . Prove that if PP has no double roots, then PP has two distinct roots z1z_1 and z2z_2 such that ∣z1−z2∣<1|z_1-z_2|<1 .
