Find the coefficient of x^k in1+(1+x)+(1...

Find the coefficient of `x^k in1+(1+x)+(1+x)^2++(1+x)^n(0lt=klt=n)dot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The expansion being in G.P., we have
`E = 1 + (1+x) + (1+x)^(2)+"…….."+(1+x)^(n)`
`= ((1+x)^(n+1)-1)/((1+x)-1) = x^(-1)[(1+x)^(n+1)-1]`
Therefore, the coefficient of `x^(k)` in E is equal to the coefficient of `x^(k+1)` in`[(1+x)^(n+1)-1]`, which is given by ` .^(n+1)C_(k+1)`.
