Answer 2

Step 1; Factor f(x) = (x - r_1)...(x - r_1000)

Step 2: Hint hint: something about roots and circle centered at r_i of radius 2 |r_i|^3

Step 3: triangle inequality --> implication: same argument.

Step 4: Verify

This is a brilliant question, therefore i will not give full answer. i hope the hints are enough to set one on the right track.
