Demonstrate if (1+x1)(1+x2)(1+x3)(1+x4)=1 . x1,x2,x3,x4 roots of x^4+x^3+x^2+x^1=0

f(x)=x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1 =
0.


x1,x2,x3 and x4 are the roots of the
equation.


To prove that (1+x1)(1+x2)(1+x3)(1+x4) =
1.


Since x1, x2 ,x3 and x4 are the roots of the equation,
f(x) = 0,


we can write the polynomial x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1 =
(x-x1)(x-x2)x-x3)(x-x4), by theory of equation, as the coefficient of x^4 agrees on both
sides.


Now put x =-1 on both
sides:


(-1)^4+(-1)^3+(1)^2+(-1)+1 =
(-1-x1)(1-x2)(-1-x3)(-1)-x4).


1-1+1-1+1 = (-1)^4
(1+x1)(1+x2)(1+x3)+(1+x4)


1 = (1+x1)(1+x2)(1+x3)(1+x4)
which is established.
