Let P(x)=24x24+∑j=123(24−j)(x24−j+x24+j).P(x)=24x^{24}+\sum_{j=1}^{23}(24-j)\left(x^{24-j}+x^{24+j}\right).Let z1,z2,…,zrz_1, z_2, \ldots, z_r be the distinct zeros of P(x)P(x), and let zk2=ak+bkiz_k^2=a_k+b_{k}i for k=1,2,…,rk=1, 2, \ldots, r, where i=−1i=\sqrt{-1}, and aka_k and bkb_k are real numbers. Find ∑k=1r|bk|.\sum_{k=1}^{r}|b_k|.
