The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the expression \( C_0^2 - C_1^2 + C_2^2 - C_3^2 + \ldots + (-1)^n C_n^2 \) for \( n = 10 \) and \( n = 11 \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Expression**: The expression can be rewritten using the binomial coefficients: \[ S(n) = \sum_{k=0}^{n} (-1)^k C_n^2 \] where \( C_n^k \) represents the binomial coefficient "n choose k". 2. **Using the Known Result**: There is a known result for this alternating sum of squares of binomial coefficients: - If \( n \) is even, \( S(n) = -\frac{n}{2} C_{n}^{n/2} \) - If \( n \) is odd, \( S(n) = 0 \) 3. **Calculating for \( n = 10 \)**: Since \( n = 10 \) is even: \[ S(10) = -\frac{10}{2} C_{10}^{5} \] First, we calculate \( C_{10}^{5} \): \[ C_{10}^{5} = \frac{10!}{5! \cdot 5!} = \frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} = 252 \] Now substituting back: \[ S(10) = -\frac{10}{2} \times 252 = -5 \times 252 = -1260 \] 4. **Calculating for \( n = 11 \)**: Since \( n = 11 \) is odd: \[ S(11) = 0 \] 5. **Final Results**: - For \( n = 10 \), \( S(10) = -252 \) - For \( n = 11 \), \( S(11) = 0 \) ### Conclusion: Thus, the values of the expression for \( n = 10 \) and \( n = 11 \) are: - \( S(10) = -252 \) - \( S(11) = 0 \)
