Does there exist positive reals a0,a1,,a19a_0, a_1,\ldots ,a_{19}, such that the polynomial P(x)=x20+a19x19++a1x+a0P(x)=x^{20}+a_{19}x^{19}+\ldots +a_1x+a_0 does not have any real roots, yet all polynomials formed from swapping any two coefficients ai,aja_i,a_j has at least one real root?
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Does there exist positive reals a₀,a₁,…,a₁₉, such that the polynomial P(x)=x²⁰+a₁₉x¹⁹+…+a₁x+a₀ does not have any real roots, yet all polynomials formed from swapping any two coefficients a_(i),a_(j) has at least one real root?
Original LaTeX notation
Does there exist positive reals $a_0, a_1,\ldots ,a_{19}$, such that the polynomial $P(x)=x^{20}+a_{19}x^{19}+\ldots +a_1x+a_0$ does not have any real roots, yet all polynomials formed from swapping any two coefficients $a_i,a_j$ has at least one real root?
