Problem A. 675. (September 2016)

A. 675. Let \(\displaystyle r(x)\) be a polynomial with real coefficients whose degree \(\displaystyle n\) is odd. Prove that the number of pairs of polynomials \(\displaystyle p(x)\) and \(\displaystyle q(x)\) with real coefficients satisfying the equation \(\displaystyle \big(p(x)\big)^3 + q(x^2) = r(x)\), is smaller than \(\displaystyle 2^n\).
