<div>For 13.31 do we need to do any calculations or can we just
look at the stretches and explain why they would be degenerate
or IR or Raman active? I was confused by the mathematica
symbol outside of this problem.</div>

In my opinion you can do this problem without Mathematica (or
Gaussian). Just explain which are IR active, Raman active, and
which modes are degenerate.<br>
