Re: Generating Functions

Assuming you mean "What did you do to solve it?",I did nothing.I will try something though.I have Maxima now.

Re: Generating Functions

Why would you use 6's? You are looking at the sums of the numbers.

Re: Generating Functions

Sorry for deleting the post smile I realized why my code is wrong.

What are you getting for 5? I get 295/432.

Re: Generating Functions

Unfortunately,my code runs n*sqrt(n) complexity,and in Maxima it would seem that thar is a lot. The poor system cannot handle such complexities.

Re: Generating Functions

My Maxima code. I must say that I am sorry that it cointains parts of procedural programming. hmm

Re: Generating Functions

Not that code. I wrote another to count coeffs with prime powers of x.

Re: Generating Functions

So the lab needs this to launch that rocket. Are you going to say, in some axiomatic systems it is .5 and in some other axiomatic systems it is 0.8688109167166945582799121192248256736356853859332611538240134956811165240517393603026999224948087276?

Or are you going to say I can not do it because my computer is too slow?
