The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem \( 99^{50} - 99 \cdot 98^{50} + \frac{99 \cdot 98}{2} \cdot 97^{50} - \ldots + 99 \), we will use the Binomial Theorem and properties of binomial coefficients. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Pattern**: The expression can be rewritten in terms of binomial coefficients. Notice that the expression alternates in signs and involves powers of decreasing integers. This suggests a binomial expansion. 2. **Rewrite the Expression**: The expression can be expressed as: \[ S = \sum_{k=0}^{99} (-1)^k \binom{99}{k} (99-k)^{50} \] This means we are summing over all \( k \) from 0 to 99, where \( \binom{99}{k} \) is the binomial coefficient. 3. **Apply the Binomial Theorem**: According to the Binomial Theorem, we have: \[ (x+y)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} x^{n-k} y^k \] In our case, we can set \( x = 99 \) and \( y = -1 \) and \( n = 50 \): \[ (99 - 1)^{50} = 98^{50} \] This gives us: \[ 98^{50} = \sum_{k=0}^{50} \binom{50}{k} 99^{50-k} (-1)^k \] 4. **Relate the Two Expressions**: We can relate our sum \( S \) to the binomial expansion: \[ S = 99^{50} - 98^{50} \] This is because the sum \( S \) effectively computes the value of \( (99-1)^{50} \) using the alternating signs. 5. **Simplify the Expression**: Now, we can simplify \( S \): \[ S = 99^{50} - 98^{50} \] 6. **Final Calculation**: The value \( 99^{50} - 98^{50} \) can be computed directly or left in this form, as it represents the difference of two powers. ### Final Answer: The value of \( 99^{50} - 99 \cdot 98^{50} + \frac{99 \cdot 98}{2} \cdot 97^{50} - \ldots + 99 \) is: \[ 99^{50} - 98^{50} \]
