The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the expression \( a_0 - 2a_1 + 3a_2 + \ldots + (2n + 1)a_{2n} \) given that \( (1 + x + x^2)^n = a_0 + a_1x + a_2x^2 + \ldots + a_{2n}x^{2n} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Expression**: We want to find the value of \( S = a_0 - 2a_1 + 3a_2 + \ldots + (2n + 1)a_{2n} \). 2. **Using Differentiation**: We start with the function \( f(x) = (1 + x + x^2)^n \). We will differentiate this function with respect to \( x \). \[ f'(x) = n(1 + x + x^2)^{n-1} \cdot (1 + 2x) \] This gives us the derivative of \( f(x) \). 3. **Evaluating at \( x = -1 \)**: We substitute \( x = -1 \) into our original function and its derivative: \[ f(-1) = (1 - 1 + 1)^n = 1^n = 1 \] For the derivative: \[ f'(-1) = n(1 - 1 + 1)^{n-1} \cdot (1 - 2) = n \cdot 1^{n-1} \cdot (-1) = -n \] 4. **Setting Up the Equation**: The expression for \( f'(x) \) can also be expressed in terms of the coefficients: \[ f'(x) = a_1 + 2a_2x + 3a_3x^2 + \ldots + (2n)a_{2n}x^{2n-1} \] Evaluating this at \( x = -1 \): \[ f'(-1) = a_1 - 2a_2 + 3a_3 - 4a_4 + \ldots + (2n)a_{2n}(-1)^{2n-1} \] 5. **Combining Results**: From our evaluations, we have: \[ S = f'(-1) = -n \] 6. **Final Result**: Therefore, we conclude that: \[ a_0 - 2a_1 + 3a_2 + \ldots + (2n + 1)a_{2n} = 1 - n \] ### Final Answer: \[ \boxed{1 - n} \]
