Let T ( x ) = x 1 2 4 + x 1 2 3 + x 1 2 2 + … + x + 1 and a 1 , a 2 , a 3 , … , a 1 2 3 , a 1 2 4 be the values of x for which T ( x ) = 0 .
If V n = a 1 n + a 2 n + a 3 n + … + a 1 2 4 n , then find
n = 0 ∑ 1 0 0 0 0 0 ( − 1 ) n V n

But here T(x)=/=f(x). Because it said ai are the values of x, not the coefficient. I understand it like T(a1)=T(a2)=...=0 but I'm pretty sure T(x)=0 do not have exactly 124 real solutions.

Newton's Identities says that if
f ( x ) = a n x n + a n − 1 x n − 1 + . . . + a 1 x + a 0 with roots r 1 , r 2 , . . . r n and V n = r 1 n + r 2 n + . . . . + r n n , then
V n a n + V n − 1 a n − 1 + . . . . + V 1 a 1 + n a 0 = 0
Now, all one has to do is substitute, starting with V 1 + 1 = 0 .
As we go further, 1 will be added to the constant term and V n + 1 to the equation. To balance the equation, 1 − 1 = 0 ⇒ V n = − 1
Hence, n = 0 ∑ 1 0 0 0 0 0 ( − 1 ) n . V n = 1 2 4 − ( − 1 ) + ( − 1 ) . . . + ( − 1 ) − ( − 1 ) + ( − 1 ) = 1 2 4
