Let $P(X)=a_{2n+1}X^{2n+1}+a_{2n}X^{2n}+...+a_1X+a_0$ be a polynomial with all positive coefficients. Prove that there exists a permutation $(b_{2n+1},b_{2n},...,b_1,b_0)$ of numbers $(a_{2n+1},a_{2n},...,a_1,a_0)$ such that the polynomial $Q(X)=b_{2n+1}X^{2n+1}+b_{2n}X^{2n}+...+b_1X+b_0$ has exactly one real root.
