Let $$a_i$$ for $$i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$$ be reals. The polynomial $$f(x) = a_1 + a_2x + a_3x^2 + a_4x^3 + a_5x^4 + a_6x^5 + 7x^6 - 4x^7 + x^8$$ can be factorized into linear factors $$x - x_i$$ where $$i = 1, 2, 3, \ldots, 8$$. Find the possible values of $$a_1$$.

Let n be a positive integer and $$S(n)$$ denote the sum of all digits in the decimal representation of n. A positive integer obtained by removing one or several digits from the right hand end of the decimal representation of n is called a truncation of n. The sum of all truncations of n is denoted as $$T(n)$$. Prove that $$S(n) + 9T(n) = n$$.
