$begingroup$


I have no idea how to proceed with the following question. Please help!



"Prove that for any polynomial $ P(x) $ with real coefficients, other than polynomial $x$, the polynomial $ P(P(P(x))) − x $ is divisible by $ P(x) − x $."

          Remember that $$a-bmid P(a)-P(b)$$



          so $$P(x)-xmid P(P(x))-P(x)$$ and thus $$P(x)-xmid (P(P(x))-P(x))+ (P(x)-x)$$



          so $$P(x)-xmid P(P(x))-xmid P(P(P(x)))-P(x)$$



          and thus $$P(x)-xmid (P(P(P(x)))-P(x))+ (P(x)-x)$$



          and finaly we have $$P(x)-xmid P(P(P(x)))-x$$

            Modular arithmetic was invented to clarify proofs like this where the divisibilty relation greatly obfuscates the algebraic (operational) essence of the matter - here the simple notion of a fixed point - see my answer.
