Problem
There is a polynomial with integer coefficients such that
holds for every
Find the coefficient of
in
.
Solution 1
Because , we have
Denote by the coefficient of
.
Thus,
Now, we need to find the number of nonnegative integer tuples that satisfy
Modulo 2 on Equation (1), we have .
Hence, we can write
. Plugging this into (1), the problem reduces to finding the number of
nonnegative integer tuples
that satisfy
Modulo 3 on Equation (2), we have .
Hence, we can write
. Plugging this into (2), the problem reduces to finding the number of
nonnegative integer tuples
that satisfy
Modulo 5 on Equation (3), we have .
Hence, we can write
. Plugging this into (3), the problem reduces to finding the number of
nonnegative integer tuples
that satisfy
Modulo 7 on Equation (4), we have .
Hence, we can write
. Plugging this into (4), the problem reduces to finding the number of
nonnegative integer tuples
that satisfy
The number of nonnegative integer solutions to Equation (5) is .

Solution 2
We know that . Applying this, we see that
The last factor does not contribute to the
term, so we can ignore it. Thus we only have left to solve the equation
, and we can proceed from here with Solution 1.
