The author uses some properties possessed by the polynomial on the left side of \[ \sum^ n_ 0 \Big[\frac1{n+1}-\frac1{2^ n}\Big(\begin{matrix} n\\k\end{matrix}\Big)\Big]x^ k \geq 0\tag{1} \] which allow the sequence results in \[ \sum^ n_ 0 \Big[\frac1{n+1}-\frac1{2^ n}\Big(\begin{matrix} n \\ k\end{matrix}\Big)\Big]u_ k \geq 0 \tag{2} \] to be deduced directly from the polynomial itself. Specifically, the following result is obtained. Assume that the polynomial \(\sum^ n_ 0 a_ k x^ k\) has \(x=1\) as a double root with \[ b_ k = \sum^ k_{j= 0} a_ j \quad (k=0, \ldots, n-1) \] and \[ c_ k = \sum^ k_{j= 0} b_ j \quad (k=0, \ldots, n-2), \] where the \(c_ k\) are nonnegative, then the sequence inequality \[ \sum^ n_ 0 a_ k u_ k \geq 0 \] holds, where the sequence \(\left\{u_ k\right\}\) is convex. Examples to demonstrate that the above result gives the sequence inequality, not from the polynomial inequality, but from the properties of the polynomial itself are given. The above result generalizes the previous work of \textit{S. Haber} [Internat. J. Math. Math. Sci. 2, 531--535 (1979; Zbl 0416.26011)] and \textit{A. McD Mercer} [Inter. J. Math. Math. Sci. 6, 609--611 (1983; Zbl 0535.26008)].
