Problem

There is a polynomial $P(x)$ with integer coefficients such that\[P(x)=\frac{(x^{2310}-1)^6}{(x^{105}-1)(x^{70}-1)(x^{42}-1)(x^{30}-1)}\]holds for every $0<x<1.$ Find the coefficient of $x^{2022}$ in $P(x)$.

Solution 1

Because $0 < x < 1$, we have \begin{align*} P \left( x \right) & = \sum_{a=0}^6 \sum_{b=0}^\infty \sum_{c=0}^\infty \sum_{d=0}^\infty \sum_{e=0}^\infty \binom{6}{a} x^{2310a} \left( - 1 \right)^{6-a} x^{105b} x^{70c} x^{42d} x^{30e} \\ & = \sum_{a=0}^6 \sum_{b=0}^\infty \sum_{c=0}^\infty \sum_{d=0}^\infty \sum_{e=0}^\infty \left( - 1 \right)^{6-a} x^{2310 a + 105 b + 70 c + 42 d + 30 e} . \end{align*}

Denote by $c_{2022}$ the coefficient of $P \left( x \right)$. Thus, \begin{align*} c_{2022} & = \sum_{a=0}^6 \sum_{b=0}^\infty \sum_{c=0}^\infty \sum_{d=0}^\infty \sum_{e=0}^\infty \left( - 1 \right)^{6-a} \Bbb I \left\{ 2310 a + 105 b + 70 c + 42 d + 30 e = 2022 \right\} \\ & = \sum_{b=0}^\infty \sum_{c=0}^\infty \sum_{d=0}^\infty \sum_{e=0}^\infty \left( - 1 \right)^{6-0} \Bbb I \left\{ 2310 \cdot 0 + 105 b + 70 c + 42 d + 30 e = 2022 \right\} \\ & = \sum_{b=0}^\infty \sum_{c=0}^\infty \sum_{d=0}^\infty \sum_{e=0}^\infty \Bbb I \left\{ 105 b + 70 c + 42 d + 30 e = 2022 \right\} . \end{align*}

Now, we need to find the number of nonnegative integer tuples $\left( b , c , d , e \right)$ that satisfy \[ 105 b + 70 c + 42 d + 30 e = 2022 . \hspace{1cm} (1) \]

Modulo 2 on Equation (1), we have $b \equiv 0 \pmod{2}$. Hence, we can write $b = 2 b'$. Plugging this into (1), the problem reduces to finding the number of nonnegative integer tuples $\left( b' , c , d , e \right)$ that satisfy \[ 105 b' + 35 c + 21 d + 15 e = 1011 . \hspace{1cm} (2) \]

Modulo 3 on Equation (2), we have $2 c \equiv 0 \pmod{3}$. Hence, we can write $c = 3 c'$. Plugging this into (2), the problem reduces to finding the number of nonnegative integer tuples $\left( b' , c' , d , e \right)$ that satisfy \[ 35 b' + 35 c' + 7 d + 5 e = 337 . \hspace{1cm} (3) \]

Modulo 5 on Equation (3), we have $2 d \equiv 2 \pmod{5}$. Hence, we can write $d = 5 d' + 1$. Plugging this into (3), the problem reduces to finding the number of nonnegative integer tuples $\left( b' , c' , d' , e \right)$ that satisfy \[ 7 b' + 7 c' + 7 d' + e = 66 . \hspace{1cm} (4) \]

Modulo 7 on Equation (4), we have $e \equiv 3 \pmod{7}$. Hence, we can write $e = 7 e' + 3$. Plugging this into (4), the problem reduces to finding the number of nonnegative integer tuples $\left( b' , c' , d' , e' \right)$ that satisfy \[ b' + c' + d' + e' = 9 . \hspace{1cm} (5) \]

The number of nonnegative integer solutions to Equation (5) is $\binom{9 + 4 - 1}{4 - 1} = \binom{12}{3} = \boxed{\textbf{(220) }}$.

Solution 2

Note that $2022 = 210\cdot 9 +132$. Since the only way to express $132$ in terms of $105$, $70$, $42$, or $30$ is $132 = 30+30+30+42$, we are essentially just counting the number of ways to express $210*9$ in terms of these numbers. Since $210 = 2*105=3*70=5*42=7*30$, it can only be expressed as a sum in terms of only one of the numbers ($105$, $70$, $42$, or $30$). Thus, the answer is (by sticks and stones) \[\binom{12}{3} = \boxed{\textbf{(220)}}\]

~Bigbrain123

Solution 3

We know that $\frac{a^n-b^n}{a-b}=\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} a^{n-1-i}b^i$. Applying this, we see that \[P(x)=(1+x^{105}+x^{210}+...)(1+x^{70}+x^{140}+...)(1+x^{42}+x^{84}+...)(1+x^{30}+x^{60}+...)(x^{4620}-2x^{2310}+1)\] The last factor does not contribute to the $x^{2022}$ term, so we can ignore it. Thus we only have left to solve the equation $105b+70c+42d+30e=2022$, and we can proceed from here with Solution 1.

~MathIsFun286

Solution 4 (Generating Function Bash)

Essentially we want the coefficient of $x^{2022}$ in the expansion

\[\frac{1}{(1 - x^{105})(1 - x^{70})(1 - x^{42})(1 - x^{30})}\]

As $(x^{2310} -1)^{6}$ does not contribute to the expansion, we omit it.

Notice $\text{lcm}(105,70,42,30) = 210$, so we can rewrite the generating function as


\[\frac{(1 + x^{105})(1 + x^{70} + x^{140})(1 + x^{42} + ... + x^{168})(1 + x^{30} + ... + x^{180})}{(1-x^{210})^{4}}\]

Notice to obtain a $x^{2022}$ value, the $x^{42}$ must be used, so we can reduce the problem to finding the coefficient of $x^{1980}$ in

\[\frac{(1 + x^{105})(1 + x^{70} + x^{140})(1 + x^{30} + ... + x^{180})}{(1-x^{210})^{4}}\]

If $(1 - x^{210})^{-4}$ is expanded, it will only generate multiples of 210. To compensate this, notice $1980 \equiv 90 \pmod{210}$, which means we need terms with a power of a 90 to acheive what we want (300 and larger values can be shown to be impossible upon inspection). This implies that the first two brackets do not contribute and we are left with

\[\frac{x^{90}}{(1-x^{210})^{4}}\]

This reduces to finding the coefficient of $x^{1890}$ for the expansion $(1 - x^{210})^{-4}$, which is $\binom{12}{3} = \fbox{220}$

Solution 5

There is a polynomial with integer coefficients such that \[P(x)=\frac{(x^{2310}-1)^6}{(x^{105}-1)(x^{70}-1)(x^{42}-1)(x^{30}-1)}\] hold for every $0<x<1$. Find the coefficient of $x^{2022}$ in $P(x)$ \section{Solution} Expand the numerator and divide each term in the denominator seperately to get \begin{align*} 

   &(1+x^{30}+x^{60}+\dotsb)
 \cdot (1+x^{42}+x^{84}+\dotsb) \\
 \cdot &(1+x^{70}+x^{140}+\dotsb)
 \cdot (1+x^{105}+x^{210}+\dotsb) (x^{2310}-1)^{2}

\end{align*} Since the factor of $(x^{2310}-1)^{2}$ is too big so we will choose the -1 from both the 2 factors to get a 1. So now we need to find the number of quadruples of non negative integers $(a,b,c,d)$ such that $\textbf{105a + 70b + 42c + 30d = 2022}$. By considering modulo $2$, $3$, $5$, $7$ we can reduce the above expression to something that can be solved using stars-and-bars. \begin{align*} 

 a &\equiv 0 \pmod 2 \\
 b &\equiv 0 \pmod 3 \\
 c &\equiv 1 \pmod 5 \\
 d &\equiv 3 \pmod 7.

\end{align*} Now by putting in $a=2x$, $b=3y$, $c=5z+1$ and $d=7w+3$. We get \begin{align*} 

   2022 &= 210x + 210y + 210z + 42 + 210w + 90\\
   2022 &= 210(x+y+z+w) + 132\\
   \implies 9 &= x+y+z+w;\; x,y,z,w\geq0

\end{align*} By stars-and-bars the answer is $\binom{9+3}{3} = 220$. -Lakshya Pamecha
