clearly all roots are negative

so for positive integers xi, i = 1,2,3 .....n

P(x) = (x+a1)(x+a2)....(x+an)

P(1) = (1+a1)(1+a2) ...(1+an)

P(1)≥2n+1 from AM-GM

how did u come up writing P(x) that way?

if a id a root of f(x) (x-a) is a factor of f(x)

i m still unable to get the way u applies am-gm!plz show that last step of applying am-gm[sorry for being dumb]

No , actually i should have shown it

(1+ a1)≥2√a1 (by AM - GM)

(1+ a2)≥2√a2

.......

(1+an) ≥2√an

Multiplying all of them
we get p(1) ≥ 2n√(a1a2.....an)= 2n+1

because (a1a2.....an) = 4
