Problem Statement

Let p(x)p(x) and q(x)q(x) non constant real polynomials of degree at most nn (n>1n > 1). Show that there exists a non zero polynomial F(x,y)F(x,y) in two variables with real coefficients of degree at most 2n2,2n-2, such that F(p(t),q(t))=0F(p(t),q(t)) = 0 for every tRt\in \mathbb{R}.
