We choose an even polynomial in $B_{N}$ (see question 2(c)), and we denote it $R_{N}$.
Show that there exist non-negative integers $r, s, t \geqslant 0$, real numbers $c_{1}, \ldots, c_{r}$ different from $\pm 1$, non-zero reals $\rho_{1}, \ldots, \rho_{s}$ and complex numbers $w_{1}, \ldots, w_{t}$ that are neither real nor purely imaginary, such that $$R_{N}(X) = \prod_{j=1}^{r} \frac{X^{2} - c_{j}^{2}}{1 - c_{j}^{2}} \prod_{k=1}^{s} \frac{X^{2} + \rho_{k}^{2}}{1 + \rho_{k}^{2}} \prod_{\ell=1}^{t} \frac{X^{2} - w_{\ell}^{2}}{1 - w_{\ell}^{2}} \cdot \frac{X^{2} - \overline{w_{\ell}}^{2}}{1 - \overline{w_{\ell}}^{2}}.$$
