1. Differentiating (1+x)n = C0 + C1x + C2x2 +...+ Cnxn of both sides we have,
n(1 + x)n-1 = C1 + 2C2x + 3C3x2 +...+ nCnxn-1. ... (E)
Put x = 1 in (E) so that n2n+1 = C1 + 2C2 + 3C3 + ...+ nCn.
Put x = -1 in (E) so that 0 = C1 - 2C2 +...+ (-1)n-1 nCn.
Differentiating (E) again and again we will have different results.
2. Integrating (1 + x)n, we have,
((1+x)n+1)/(n+1) + C = C0x + C1x2/2 + C2x3/3 +.....+Cnxn+1/(n+1) (where C is a constant)
For x = 0, we get C = -1/(n+1) .
Therefore ((1+x)n+1 - 1)/(n+1) = C0x + C1x2/2 + C2x3/3 +.....+Cnxn+1/(n+1) ..... (F)
Put x = 1 in (F) and get
(2n+1 - 1)/n+1= C0 + C1/2 +...Cn/n+1 .
Put x = -1 in (F) and get, 1/n+1 = C0 - C1/2 + C2/3 - ......
Put x = 2 in (F) and get, (3n+1-1)/n+1 = 2 C0 + 22/2 C1 + 22/3 C2 +...+ 2n+1/n+1 = Cn.
Problems Related to Series of Binomial Coefficients in Which Each Term is a Product of an Integer and a Binomial Coefficient, i.e. In the Form k.nCr.
Illustration:
If (1+x)n =xr then prove that C1 + 2C2 + 3C3 +...+ nCn = n2n-1.
Solution:
Method (i) : rth term of the given series
rth term of the given series, tr = nCr
=> tr = r × n/r × n-1Cr-1 = n × n-1Cr-1 (because nCr =n/r .n-1Cr-1)
Sum of the series =
Put x = 1 in the expansion of (1 + x)n-1, so that
(n-1C0 + n-1C1 +...+ n-1Cn-1) = 2n-1
=> = n.2n-1.
Method (ii) : By Calculus
We have (1 + x)n = C0 + C1x + C2x2 +...+ Cnxn. ... (1)
Differentiating (1) w.r.t. x, we get
n(1 + x)n-1 = C1 + 2C2x + 3C3 x2 +...+ n Cnxn-1. ... (2)
Putting x = 1 in (2), we have, n 2n-1 = C1 + 2C2 +....+ nCn. ... (3)
If (1+ x)n = xr then prove that C0 + 2.C1 + 3.C2+...+(n+1)Cn=2n-1(n+2).
Method (i): rth term of the given series
rth term of the given series
tr = nCr-1 = [(r-1) + 1]. nCr-1
= (r-1) nCr-1 + nCr-1 = n. n-1Cr-2 + nCr-1 (because nCr-1 =n/(r-1) . n-1Cr-2)
= n[n-1C0 + n-1C1 +...+ n-1Cn-1]+[nC0 + nC1 +...+ nCn] = n.2n-1 + 2n = 2n-1 (n+2).
Method (ii) by Calculus.
Multiplying (1) with x, we get
x(1+x)n = C0x + C1x2 + C2x3 +...+ Cnxn+1. ... (2)
Differentiating (2) w.r.t. x, we have
(1 + x)n + n(1 + x)n-1 x = C0x + 2C1x2 +...+ (n+1)Cnxn ... (3)
Putting x = 1 in (3), we get
2n + n.2n-1 = C0 + 2C1 + 3C2 +...+ (n+1)Cn
=> C0 + 2C1 + 3C2 +...+ (n+1)Cn = 2n-1 (n+2).
Problems Related to Series of Binomial Coefficient in Which Each Term is Binomial Coefficient divided by an Integer, i.e. in the Form of nCr/k.
If (1+x)n =
Method (ii): By Calculus
(1+x)n = C0 + C1x + C2x2 +...+ Cnxn ... (1)
Integrating both the sides of (1) w.r.t. x between the limits 0 to x, we get
... (2)
Substituting x = 1 in (2), we get 2n+1/n+1 = C0 + c1/2 + c2/3 +.....+ cn/n+1.
If (1+x)n = xr ,show that
Method I : rth term of the given series Tr =
Method II : (By Calculus)
(1 + x)n = C0 + C1x + C2x2 +...+ Cnxn
=> x(1+x)n = C0x + C1x2 + C2x3 +...+ Cnxn+1 ... (1)
Integrating both the sides of (1) with respect to x
Put x = 0, => k = 1/((n+1)(n+2))
Put x = 1,
.
Problem Related to Series of Binomial Coefficients in Which Each Term is a Product of two Binomial Coefficients.
(a) If sum of lower suffices of binomial expansion in each term is the same
i.e. nC0 nCn + nC1 nCn-1 + nCn-2 +...+ nCn nC0
i.e. 0 + n = 1 + (n-1) = 2 + (n-2) = n + 0.
Then the series represents the coefficients of xn in the multiplication of the following two series
(1+x)n = C0 + C1x + C2x2 +...+ Cnxn
and (1+x)n = C0 + C1x + C2x2 +...+ Cnxn.
Prove that C0Cr + C1Cr+1 + C2Cr+2 +...+ Cn-r Cn = (2n)!/((n-r)!(n+r)!)
We have,
C0 + C1x + C2x2 + ... + Cnxn = (1+x)n ... (1)
Also C0xn + C2xn-2 +...+ Cn = (x+1)n ... (2)
Multiplying (1) and (2), we get
(C0 + C1x2 +...+ Cnxn)(C0xn + C1xn-2 + C2xn-2 +...+ Cn) = (1+x)2n ... (3)
Equating coefficient of xn-r from both sides of (3), we get
C0Cr + C1Cr+1 + C2Cr+2 +...+ Cn-rCn = 2nCn-r = (2n)/((n-r)!(n+r)!) .
Prove that Co2 + C12 +...+ Cn2 = (2n)!/n!n! .
Since
(1 + x)n = C0 + C1x + C2x2 +...+ Cnxn, ... (1)
(x + 1)n = C0xn + C1xn-2 +...+ Cn, ... (2)
(C0 + C1x + C2x2 +...+ Cnxn)(C0xn + C1xn-1 + C2xn-2 +...+ Cn)=(1+x)2n.
Equating coefficient of xn, we get
C02 + C12 + C22 +...+ Cn2 = 2nCn = (2n)!/n!n! .
If (1+x)n = , then prove that
mCr nC0 + mCr-1 nC1 + mCr-2 nC2 +...+ mC1 nCr-1 + mC0 nCr = m+nCr
where m, n, r are positive integers and r < m and r < n.
(1+x)n = nC0 + nC1x + nC2x2 +...+ nCrxr +...+ nCnxn ... (1)
and also
(1+x)m = mC0 + mC1x + mC2x2 +...+ mCrxr +...+ mCmxm ... (2)
(nC0 + nC1x + nC2x2 +...+ nCrxr +...+ nCnxn)x
(mC0 + mC1x + mC2x2 +...+ mCrxr +...+ mCmxm) = (1+x)m+n
= m+nC0 + m+2C1x + m+nC2x2 +...+ m+nCrxr +...+ m+nCm+nxm+n
Equating the coefficient of xr, we get
(b) If one series has constant lower suffices and other has varying lower suffices
Prove that nC0.2nCn - nC12n-2Cn + nC2/2n-4Cn -...= 2n.
nC0.2nCn - nC12n-2Cn + nC2/2n-4Cn -...
= coefficient of xn in[nC0(1+x)2n - nC1(1+x)2n-2+nC2(1+x)2n-4 - ...]
= coefficient of xn in
[nC0((1+x)2)n - nC1((1+x)2)n-1 + nC2((1+x)2)n-2 - ...]
= coefficient of xn in [(1+x)2 - 1]n
= coefficient of xn in (2x+x2)n = co-efficient of xn in xn (2+x)n = 2n.
