Question

Prove that C0+C12+C23+C34+....+Cnn+1=2n+11(n+1)

Open in App
Solution

(1+x)n=nC0+nC1x+nC2x2+...nCnxn
Integrating both sides with respect to x gives
(1+x)n.dx=nC0x+nC1x22+nC2x33+...nCnxnn+1
(1+x)n+1n+1+C=nC0x+nC1x22+nC2x33+...nCnxnn+1
At x=0, 11+n+C=0
Or C=11+n
Hence
(1+x)n+11n+1=nC0x+nC1x22+nC2x33+...nCnxnn+1
Let x=1
Therefore
2n+11n+1=nC0+nC112+nC213+...nCnn+1
