VN-TST 2016 Problem 6

    Given 1616 distinct real numbers α1,α2,...,α16\alpha_1,\alpha_2,...,\alpha_{16} . For each polynomial PP , denote V(P)=P(α1)+P(α2)+...+P(α16).V(P)=P(\alpha_1)+P(\alpha_2)+...+P(\alpha_{16}). Prove that there is a monic polynomial QQ , deg⁡Q=8\deg Q=8 satisfying:

    i) V(QP)=0V(QP)=0 for all polynomial PP has deg⁡P<8\deg P<8 .

    ii) QQ has 88 real roots (including multiplicity).
