Suppose that all roots of the polynomial equation
x4−4x3+ax2+bx+1=0
are positive real numbers. Show that all the roots of the polynomial are equal.
My work:
I assume the contraposition that all the roots are not equal.
Assume that the roots are α,β,γ,δ
So,α+β+γ+δ=4
and,αβγδ=1
Here, by observation I can see that this holds for all the roots to be equal to 1, but I cannot prove it. Please help!
