prove thatC02nCn2n2Cn+2n4Cn=2nwhereCr=nCr

Open in App
Solution

Consider the expansion of
(2x+x2)n=[(1+x)21]n
or xn(2+x)n=[(1+x)21]n
The coefficient of xn in L. H. S. is 2n and it should be equal to coefficient of xn in R. H. S.
[(1+x)21]n=C0(1+x)2nC1(1+x)2n2+C2(1+x)2n4
=C2n0CnC12n2Cn+C22n4Cn
We konw that the coefficient of srin(1+x)nisnCr
