1. Let f(x) be a polynomial of degree n ≥ 2 with integral coefficients, the highest coefficient being positive. It is well known that if f(x) is an exact k-th power for all sufficiently large integers x, where k ≥ 2, then f(x) = g(x)k identically, where g(x) is another polynomial with integral coefficients. (See Pólya and Szegö (4), section 8, problems 114, 190; also Davenport, Lewis and Schinzel(1), where other references are given.) The main purpose of this note is to prove that if we suppose only that
