The coefficients a 0 a_{0} , ..., a 2004 a_{2004} of the polynomial P ( x ) = x 2015 + a 2014 x 2014 + . . . + a 1 x + a 0 P(x)=x^{2015}+a_{2014}x^{2014}+...+a_{1}x+a_{0} are such that a i { 0 , 1 } a_{i} \in \{0,1\} , for 0 i 2014 0\leq i \leq 2014 . The number of these polynomials which admit two distinct integer roots can be written as ( a b ) \displaystyle {a \choose b} , with b > a b b > a-b . Determine the value of a b a-b .


The answer is 1006.
