To prove the identity \( \binom{2n}{n} + \binom{2n}{n-1} = \frac{1}{2} \binom{2n+2}{n+1} \) for all positive integers \( n \), we will start by analyzing the left-hand side (LHS) and the right-hand side (RHS) of the equation. ### Step 1: Start with the LHS The left-hand side is given by: \[ \text{LHS} = \binom{2n}{n} + \binom{2n}{n-1} \] ...
