+solved @user1 @user2...
to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.How I could've thought of this is completely beyond me

Idk if I'm missing a topic or something but that solution does not seem intuitive
It's not intuitive don't worry
It just comes from practice
🧍
I tried something else
I created one 2^n using the C0 available
Okay I absolutely don't know why people do this in simpler cases :/
Then there's two C1 available, using which i can create 2*2^(n-1)
And then I keep adding and subtracting the C1 required to create 2^(n-1)
Until I get to
n
How do I complete that expression and generalize it idkYeah exactly.Write C_0+(2n+1)C_n as (n+1)(C_0+C_n) and keep writing other stuff like this too.
So you have (n+1)(C_0+C_1+...C_n)
Which is basically 2^n(n+1)
wait what
Huh. I wouldn't have thought of that ngl. The differentiation seems more intuitive to me.
wait how are they equal
C_0+(2n+1)C_n and (n+1)(C_0+C_n)
ah C0 = C_n = 1
oh
how th do u do these manipulations
yeah lmao that's an amazing manipulation
my brain lagged looking at that
lemme try to complete this
are there 2 middle terms or one middle term
there's 2 middle terms if
n
is odd which folds nicely into the same manipulation
if n
is even there's 1 middle term
what happens to that oneThen the coefficient will be (n+1)
Because n+1 will be the odd number
holy shit wow it is
beautiful
how on earth did you think of this
wow
amazing
Seen this question before, so I thought it then.
how did you think of it then bro 😭
i genuinely wanna know
raw, unconscious pattern matching?
if that's the case then i just needa practice more
It was more like in 11th, I was lazy to differentiate and stuff.
So, my go-to in binomial was to not use differentiation at all. (If possible)
raw determination LMAO
is my method the same thing
i'm unsure how to actually complete my method to an arbitrary
n
Yeah, if you had followed similar trains of thoughts you would have stumbled on the same.
also does this differentiation method have a name or a search tag which i can look up to see more questions of this type
it feels different, in your method you're using the
C_r = C_(n-r)
equality
actually ill give my method more thought and then decideYeah man ig your method works something like this:
Initially make 2^n from 1 of each term
Then 2(2^n-C_0) from 2 of all remaining terms
Then 2(2^n-C_0-C_1) from 2 of further remaining terms and so on,
You then get 2^n+(2^(n+1)+2^(n+1)+...n times)-(2nC_0+(2n-1)C_1+....)
Simplify the last bracket in last line to 2n(C_0+C_1+...)-(1.C_1+2C_2+....)
The results of both are known.
Ig this works. *(I seem to have messed up calculations a lot but yeah...)
best way i can think of is-
sum of (2r+1)nCr r = 0 to n
u mustve studied sum(r * nCr) = n2^n-1 and sum(nCr)= 2^n
simply put the values
