Problem
All the roots of the polynomial are positive integers, possibly repeated. What is the value of
?
Solution 1
By Vieta's formulas, the sum of the six roots is and the product of the six roots is
. By inspection, we see the roots are
and
, so the function is
. Therefore, calculating just the
terms, we get
.

Solution 2
Using the same method as Solution 1, we find that the roots are and
. Note that
is the negation of the 3rd symmetric sum of the roots. Using casework on the number of 1's in each of the
products
we obtain
