IZhO 2019 Problem 6

    On a polynomial of degree three it is allowed to perform the following two operations arbitrarily many times:

    (i) reverse the order of its coefficients including zeroes (for instance, from the polynomial x3−2x2−3x^{3}-2 x^{2}-3 we can obtain −3x3−2x+1-3 x^{3}-2 x+1;

    (ii) change polynomial P(x)P(x) to the polynomial P(x+1)P(x+1).

    Is it possible to obtain the polynomial x3−3x2+3x−3x^{3}-3 x^{2}+3 x-3 from the polynomial x3−2x^{3}-2 ?

    The answer is no.
