2022 AMC 10B Problem 21
Let P(x) be a polynomial with rational coefficients such that when P(x) is divided by the polynomial x^2 + x + 1, the remainder is x + 2, and when P(x) is divided by the polynomial x^2 + 1, the remainder is 2x + 1. There is a unique polynomial of least degree with these two properties. What is the sum of the squares of the coefficients of that polynomial?
