Let P(x) = x^6+ax^5+bx^4+cx^3+dx^2+ex+f.
If f is a prime number, how many distinct linear factors with integral
coefficients can P(x) at most have?

Please also briefly account for your answer.

The linear factor must be (x ± 1) or (x ± f).Note that (x + f) and (x - f) cann't be the factors of P(x) at the same time.So it at most have 3 distinct linear factors with integral
coefficients :(x - 1)^5 (x ± f)(x - 1)^4 (x + 1) (x ± f)(x - 1)^3 (x + 1)^2 (x ± f)(x - 1)^2 (x + 1)^3 (x ± f)(x - 1) (x + 1)^4 (x ± f)(x + 1)^5 (x ± f)
