1. **Express P(1) and P(1)2:**
P(1)=i=0∑nai
P(1)2=(i=0∑nai)2
2. **Expand P(1)2 using the binomial theorem:**
P(1)2=(i=0∑nai)2=i=0∑nai2+20≤i<j≤n∑aiaj
3. **Express P(X)2 in terms of its coefficients:**
P(X)2=b2nX2n+b2n−1X2n−1+⋯+bn+1Xn+1+⋯+b1X+b0
4. **Identify the coefficient bn+1 in P(X)2:**
The coefficient bn+1 is the sum of products of coefficients ai and aj such that i+j=n+1:
bn+1=i=0∑naian+1−i
5. **Relate bn+1 to P(1)2:**
Since 0≤ai≤a0 for all i, we have:
bn+1=i=0∑naian+1−i≤i=0∑naia0=a0i=0∑nai
6. **Use the inequality to bound 4bn+1:**
4bn+1≤4a0i=0∑nai
7. **Compare with P(1)2:**
P(1)2=(i=0∑nai)2
Since a0≤∑i=0nai, we have:
4a0i=0∑nai≤4(i=0∑nai)2
8. Conclude the inequality:
4bn+1≤4(i=0∑nai)2=P(1)2
