Let \(f(x) = x^4 + (2-a)x^3 – (2a+1)x^2 + (a-2)x + 2a\) for some \(a \geq 2\). Draw two tangent lines of its graph at the point \((-1,0)\) and \((1,0)\) and let \(P\) be the intersection point. Denote by \(T\) the area of the triangle whose vertices are \((-1,0), (1,0)\) and \(P\). Let \(A\) be the area of domain enclosed by the interval \([-1,1]\) and the graph of the function on this interval. Show that \(T \leq 3A/2.\)

2023-15 An inequality for complex polynomials
Let \(p(z), q(z) \)and \(r(z)\) be polynomials with complex coefficients in the complex plane. Suppose that \(|p(z)| + |q(z)| \leq |r(z)|\) for every \(z\). Show that there exist two complex numbers \( a,b \) such that \(|a|^2 +|b|^2 =1\) and \( a p(z) + bq(z) =0 \) for every \(z\).
