The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the sum of the first \( (n+1) \) terms of the series given by: \[ S = a C_0 - (a + d) C_1 + (a + 2d) C_2 - (a + 3d) C_3 + \ldots + (-1)^n (a + nd) C_n \] ### Step 1: Write the series in summation form We can express the series in summation notation: \[ S = \sum_{r=0}^{n} (-1)^r (a + rd) C_r \] ### Step 2: Separate the terms involving \( a \) and \( d \) We can separate the series into two parts, one involving \( a \) and the other involving \( d \): \[ S = a \sum_{r=0}^{n} (-1)^r C_r + d \sum_{r=0}^{n} (-1)^r r C_r \] ### Step 3: Evaluate the first summation The first summation \( \sum_{r=0}^{n} (-1)^r C_r \) can be evaluated using the Binomial Theorem. It states that: \[ (1 - 1)^n = \sum_{r=0}^{n} C_r (-1)^r = 0 \] Thus, we have: \[ \sum_{r=0}^{n} (-1)^r C_r = 0 \] ### Step 4: Evaluate the second summation For the second summation \( \sum_{r=0}^{n} (-1)^r r C_r \), we can use the property of binomial coefficients: \[ r C_r = n C_{r-1} \] Thus, we can rewrite the summation as: \[ \sum_{r=0}^{n} (-1)^r r C_r = \sum_{r=1}^{n} (-1)^r n C_{r-1} = n \sum_{r=0}^{n-1} (-1)^{r+1} C_r \] This can be simplified to: \[ -n \sum_{r=0}^{n-1} (-1)^r C_r \] Using the same reasoning as before, we find: \[ \sum_{r=0}^{n-1} (-1)^r C_r = 0 \] Thus, we have: \[ \sum_{r=0}^{n} (-1)^r r C_r = 0 \] ### Step 5: Combine results Now substituting back into our expression for \( S \): \[ S = a \cdot 0 + d \cdot 0 = 0 \] ### Conclusion The sum of the first \( (n+1) \) terms of the series is: \[ \boxed{0} \]
