Let p(x) be a polynomial with integer coefficients.  Show that, if the constant term is odd, and the sum of all the coefficients is odd, then p has no integer roots.  (That is, if p(x) = a0 + a1x + ... + anxn, a0 is odd, and a0 + a1 + ... + an is odd, then there is no integer k such that p(k) = 0.)
