7.Binomial Theorem
hard

The coefficient of ${x^n}$in expansion of $(1 + x)\,{(1 - x)^n}$ is

A

${( - 1)^{n - 1}}n$

B

${( - 1)^n}(1 - n)$

C

${( - 1)^{n - 1}}{(n - 1)^2}$

D

$(n - 1)$

(AIEEE-2004)

Solution

(b) Coefficient of ${x^n}$ in expansion of $(1 + x)$ ${(1 – x)^n}$ie., 

coefficient of ${x^n}$ in expansion of ${(1 – x)^n} + $ coefficient of ${x^{n – 1}}$ in expansion of ${(1 – x)^n}$

Now, ${( – 1)^n}{\,^n}{C_n} + {( – 1)^{n – 1}}\,{\,^n}{C_{n – 1}}$

 $\therefore {( – 1)^n}\,{[^n}{C_n} – {\,^n}{C_{n – 1}}]$

= ${( – 1)^n}\,[1 – n]$.
