USAMO 1989 Problem 3

Let P(z)=zn+c1zn−1+c2zn−2+⋯+cnP(z)= z^n + c_1 z^{n-1} + c_2 z^{n-2} + \cdots + c_n be a polynomial in the complex variable zz , with real coefficients ckc_k . Suppose that ∣P(i)∣<1|P(i)| < 1 . Prove that there exist real numbers aa and bb such that P(a+bi)=0P(a + bi) = 0 and (a2+b2+1)2<4b2+1(a^2 + b^2 + 1)^2 < 4 b^2 + 1 .
