let  P(x)= x^5 −209x+56   Prove that there exist two roots  a,b such as   ab=1  Find out their sum ( a+b=?)  and deduce the decomposition of P(x) in prime factors.

2 roots with ab=1 ⇒ we have a square factor  (x−a)(x−(1/a))=x^2 −(a+(1/a))x+1=       [let a+(1/a)=A]  =x^2 −Ax+1  ⇒  the other factor is  x^3 +αx^2 +βx+56    x^5 −209x+56=(x^2 −Ax+1)(x^3 +αx^2 +βx+56)  x^5 −209x+56=x^5 +(α−A)x^4 −(αA−β−1)x^3 −(βA−α−56)x^2 +(β−56A)x+56  ⇒  (1)  α−A=0  (2)  αA−β−1=0  (3)  βA−α−56=0  (4)  β−56A+209=0  ⇒  A=4 ⇒ a=2±(√3) ⇒ b=2∓(√3)  α=4  β=15  ⇒  x^5 −209x+56=  =(x−2−(√3))(x−2+(√3))(x^3 +4x^2 +15x+56)  and we need Cardano′s method for the 2^(nd)   factor

thanks sir for this part , but before reaching here we ought to prove the existence of a and b

I have no idea how to prove the existence of  the roots without calculating them

f′(x)=5x^4 −209=0 ⇒x_(1,2) =∓(√(√(209/5)))  f(x_1 )>0, f(x_2 )<0  f(→−∞)→−∞, f(→+∞)→+∞  ⇒three real roots exist. one <−(√(√(209/5)))  one >(√(√(209/5))) and the third one between.

that f(x) has one factor x^2 +px+1 is  the proof that two roots exist whose  product is 1.
