A symmetric polynomial can be represented in one and only one manner as the sum of homogeneous symmetric polynomials of different degrees.
A homogeneous polynomial is transformed by a permutation of the indeterminates into a homogeneous polynomial of the same degree, whence each of the homogeneous portions of a symmetric polynomial are transformed each themselves by every permutation and they are therefore symmetric homogeneous polynomials.

Furthermore, since all of the factors in the term that contribute to the x^(p-1) term of polynomial (2) are x, none of the factors are constants, so the coefficient of said term, a_0, is 1.
Thus, the constant term of the polynomial (2), a_(p-1), is (-1)*(-2)*...*(-(p-1)) = (-1)^(p-1) * (p-1)!.

 ECCC Report TR02-052 and related Papers
Abstract: Elementary symmetric polynomials $S_n^k$ are used as a benchmark for the bounded-depth arithmetic circuit model of computation.
In this work we prove that $S_n^k$ modulo composite numbers $m=p_1p_2$ can be computed with much fewer multiplications than over any field, if the coefficients of monomials $x_{i_1}x_{i_2}cdots x_{i_k}$ are allowed to be 1 either mod $p_1$ or mod $p_2$ but not necessarily both.
Moreover, the number of multiplications remain sublinear while $k=O(loglog n).$ In contrast, the well-known Graham-Pollack bound yields an $n-1$ lower bound for the number of multiplications even for the second elementary symmetric polynomial $S_n^2$.
