Let $P_n(x)=a_0 + a_1x + \cdots + a_nx^n$, with $n \geq 2$, be a real-coefficient polynomial. Prove that if there exists $a > 0$ such that
\begin{align*}
P_n(x) = (x + a)^2 \left( \sum_{i=0}^{n-2} b_i x^i \right),

An equilateral triangle with side $n$ is built with $n^{2}$ [i]plates[/i] - equilateral triangles with side $1$. Each plate has one side black, and the other side white. We name [i]the move[/i] the following operation: we choose a plate $P$, which has common sides with at least two plates, whose visible side is the same color as the visible side of $P$. Then, we turn over plate $P$.
For any $n\geq 2$ decide whether there exists an innitial configuration of plates permitting for an infinite sequence of moves.

a) A student takes a subway to an Olympiad, pays one ruble and gets his change. Prove that if he takes a tram (street car) on his way home, he will have enough coins to pay the fare without change.
b) A student is going to a club. (S)he takes a tram, pays one ruble and gets the change. Prove that on the way back by a tram (s)he will be able to pay the fare without any need to change.
Note: In $1957$, the price of a subway ticket was $50$ kopeks, that of a tram ticket $30$ kopeks, the denominations of the coins were $1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15$, and $20$ kopeks. ($1$ rouble = $100$ kopeks.)
