Jun 14, 2019 at 19:02 | comment | added | R.P. | Very probably something very much like what you claim is true, except it can't be completely correct since $P(x)=x^2+x$ also works, which satisfies $P(x) = P(-1-x)$. There is a subtlety in that the symmetry-axis can oocur for a half-integral $x$-value. | |
