Question 111

Is it possible to represent the polynomial of seven variables
$$
Q(x_1, x_2, \dots, x_7) = (x_1 + x_2 + \dots + x_7)^2 + 2(x_1^2 + x_2^2 + \dots + x_7^2)
$$
as a sum of squares of seven polynomials with non-negative integer coefficients:
$$
Q(x_1, \dots, x_7) = P_1(x_1, \dots, x_7)^2 + P_2(x_1, \dots, x_7)^2 + \dots + P_7(x_1, \dots, x_7)^2?
$$
