TSTST 2014 Problem 4 Let P(x)P(x)P(x) and Q(x)Q(x)Q(x) be arbitrary polynomials with real coefficients, with P≠0P \neq 0P=0, and let d=degPd=\operatorname{deg} Pd=degP. Prove that there exist polynomials A(x)A(x)A(x) and B(x)B(x)B(x), not both zero, such that max{degA,degB}≤d/2\max \{\operatorname{deg} A, \operatorname{deg} B\} \leq d / 2max{degA,degB}≤d/2 and P(x)∣A(x)+Q(x)⋅B(x)P(x) \mid A(x)+Q(x) \cdot B(x)P(x)∣A(x)+Q(x)⋅B(x).
