USAMO 1992 Problem 5

  • Day 2

A complex polynomial has degree 1992 and distinct zeros. Show that we can find complex numbers zn\mathrm{z}_{\mathrm{n}}, such that if p1(z)=z−z1\mathrm{p}_{1}(\mathrm{z})=\mathrm{z}-\mathrm{z}_{1} and pn(z)=pn−1(z)2−zn\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{n}}(\mathrm{z})=\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{n}-1}(\mathrm{z})^{2}-\mathrm{z}_{\mathrm{n}}, then the polynomial divides p1992(z)\mathrm{p}_{1992}(\mathrm{z}).
