The correct Answer is:
To find the coefficient of \( x^{25} \) in the expansion of \[ \sum_{k=0}^{50} (-1)^k \binom{50}{k} (2x - 3)^{50-k} (2 - x)^k, \] we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Recognize the Binomial Expansion The given expression can be recognized as a binomial expansion. We can rewrite the summation in a more manageable form. Notice that it resembles the binomial theorem, where: \[ (x + y)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} x^{n-k} y^k. \] In our case, we can set \( x = 2x - 3 \) and \( y = 2 - x \). ### Step 2: Combine Terms We can combine the terms inside the summation: \[ (2x - 3) + (2 - x) = 2x - 3 + 2 - x = x - 1. \] Thus, we can rewrite the original expression as: \[ \sum_{k=0}^{50} (-1)^k \binom{50}{k} (2x - 3)^{50-k} (2 - x)^k = (x - 1)^{50}. \] ### Step 3: Expand the Expression Now we need to find the coefficient of \( x^{25} \) in the expansion of \( (x - 1)^{50} \). According to the binomial theorem: \[ (x - 1)^{50} = \sum_{j=0}^{50} \binom{50}{j} x^j (-1)^{50-j}. \] ### Step 4: Identify the Required Coefficient We are interested in the coefficient of \( x^{25} \). From the binomial expansion, the coefficient of \( x^{25} \) is given by: \[ \binom{50}{25} (-1)^{50-25} = \binom{50}{25} (-1)^{25}. \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Coefficient Since \( (-1)^{25} = -1 \), we have: \[ \text{Coefficient of } x^{25} = -\binom{50}{25}. \] ### Final Answer Thus, the coefficient of \( x^{25} \) in the expansion is: \[ -\binom{50}{25}. \]
