Let $F(x_1,..., x_n)$ be a polynomial with real coefficients in $ n > 1$ “indeterminate” variables $x_1,..., x_n$. We say that $F$ is $n$-[i]alternating [/i]if for all integers $1 \le i < j \le n$, $$F(x_1,..., x_i,..., x_j,..., x_n) = - F(x_1,..., x_j,..., x_i,..., x_n),$$ i.e. swapping the order of indeterminates $x_i, x_j$ flips the sign of the polynomial. For example, $x^2_1x_2 - x^2_2x_1$ is $2$-alternating, whereas $x_1x_2x_3 +2x_2x_3$ is not $3$-alternating. [i]Note: two polynomials $P(x_1,..., x_n)$ and $Q(x_1,..., x_n)$ are considered equal if and only if each monomial constituent $ax^{k_1}_1... x^{k_n}_n$ of $P$ appears in $Q$ with the same coefficient $a$, and vice versa. This is equivalent to saying that $P(x_1,..., x_n) = 0$ if and only if every possible monomial constituent of $P$ has coefficient $0$. [/i] (1) Compute a $3$-alternating polynomial of degree $3$. (2) Prove that the degree of any nonzero $n$-alternating polynomial is at least ${n \choose 2}$.
