For the following questions answer them individually

a, b, c, d, e, f are real numbers such that the polynomial $$P(x) = x^8 - 4x^7 + 7x^6 + ax^5 + bx^4 + cx^3 + dx^2 + ex + f$$ factorises into eight linear factors $$(x-x_i)$$ with $$x_i>0$$ for $$i=1,2,3,\ldots,8$$. Find the possible values of the constant f.

ABC is a triangle in which $$\angle A$$ is obtuse. AD, BE and CF are the altitudes from A, B and C respectively to BC, CA and AB. $$A_1$$, $$B_1$$ and $$C_1$$ are arbitrary points on BC, CA and AB respectively. The circles on $$AA_1$$, $$BB_1$$ and $$CC_1$$ as diameters are drawn. Show that the lengths of the tangents from the orthocentre of $$\triangle ABC$$ to these circles are equal.
