Question

By expanding [(1+x)n1]m in two ways prove that mCn1CmmC2n2Cm+,mC3n3Cm ,...=(1)m1nm

Open in App
Solution

[(1+x)n1]m=[1+nC1x+nC2x2+1]m
=xm[nC1+nC2x+]m
=xm[n+nC2x+..]m
coefficient of xminxn
Again the given expression can be written as
(1)m[1(1+x)n]m
(1)m[1mC1(1+x)n+mC2(1+x)2nmC3(1+x)3n]
Now we know that coefficient of xrin(1+x)nisnCras it occurs
Hence coefficient of xm in the above expansion of
(1)m[mC1nCm+mC22nCmmC33nCm+]
Equating the coefficient ofxm We get the result (1)m=(1)m1 etc
