US-TST 2014 Problem 4

    Let nn be a positive even integer, and let c1,c2,…,cn−1c_{1}, c_{2}, \ldots, c_{n-1} be real numbers satisfying ∑i=1n−1∣ci−1∣<1\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}\left|c_{i}-1\right|<1 Prove that 2xn−cn−1xn−1+cn−2xn−2−⋯−c1x1+22 x^{n}-c_{n-1} x^{n-1}+c_{n-2} x^{n-2}-\cdots-c_{1} x^{1}+2 has no real roots.
