Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Let b(x)=x²+x+1. The polynomial x²⁰¹⁵+x²⁰¹⁴+⋯+x+1 has a unique "base b(x) " representation x²⁰¹⁵+x²⁰¹⁴+⋯+x+1=∑_(k=0)^(N)a_(k)(x)b(x)^(k) where each "digit" a_(k)(x) is either the zero polynomial or a nonzero polynomial of degree less than degb=2; and the "leading digit a_(N)(x) " is nonzero. Find a_(N)(0).
Original LaTeX notation
Let $b(x)=x^{2}+x+1$. The polynomial $x^{2015}+x^{2014}+\cdots+x+1$ has a unique "base $b(x)$ " representation $x^{2015}+x^{2014}+\cdots+x+1=\sum_{k=0}^{N} a_{k}(x) b(x)^{k}$ where each "digit" $a_{k}(x)$ is either the zero polynomial or a nonzero polynomial of degree less than $\operatorname{deg} b=2$; and the "leading digit $a_{N}(x)$ " is nonzero. Find $a_{N}(0)$.
