Problem
Let be a polynomial of degree 2011 such that Then the coefficient of in can be expressed in the form where are positive integers, and is prime. Find
Solution
We have that for
Let Then for Since has degree 2011, for some constant
Also, But so and Let Then so the coefficient of in is In other words, the coefficients of in and are the same.
We can write as The coefficient of in is then The final answer is then
