Problem of the Day #291: Two Hundred Ninety One January 4, 2012
Posted by Saketh in : potd , trackbackConsider the function $f(x) = 1-x+x^2-x^3+\cdots-x^{2011}+x^{2012}$. Let $y = x+1$, and suppose we rewrite our expression as the polynomial $g(y)$.
Find the greatest integer $k$ such that $2^k$ evenly divides the coefficient of $y^{291}$ in $g$.
