Let $P(x)$ be a nonconstant complex coefficient polynomial and let $Q(x,y)=P(x)-P(y).$ Suppose that polynomial $Q(x,y)$ has exactly $k$ linear factors unproportional two by tow (without counting repetitons). Let $R(x,y)$ be factor of $Q(x,y)$ of degree strictly smaller than $k$. Prove that $R(x,y)$ is a product of linear polynomials.
[b]Note: [/b] The [i]degree[/i] of nontrivial polynomial $\sum_{m}\sum_{n}c_{m,n}x^{m}y^{n}$ is the maximum of $m+n$ along all nonzero coefficients $c_{m,n}.$ Two polynomials are [i]proportional[/i] if one of them is the other times a complex constant.
