hey buddy i did it like this
for         x4 + ax3 + bx2 + ax + 1 = 0

let us put b=0
then
we have =>
x4 + ax3 + ax + 1 = 0
and now when x=1 for any single real solution of the eqn...

we have.. a=1

but if we take any other value of x (can be smaller or bigger or in negative)

a comes out to be greater than 1....

thats why for  a2 + b2 to be least  a=1 and b=0
so
a2 + b2=1

Pls correct me where I am wrong..........
