What is the sum of the coefficients in the expansion of (1 + x)n ?
What is the sum of the coefficients in the expansion of (1 + x)n ? Correct Answer 2<sup>n</sup>
Concept:
(1 + x)n = nC0 x0+ nC1 x1 + nC2 x2 + …. + nCn xn
Calculation:
(1 + x)n = nC0 x0+ nC1 x1 + nC2 x2 + …. + nCn xn
Put x = 1, we get
⇒ (1 + 1)n = nC0 10+ nC1 11 + nC2 12 + …. + nCn 1n
⇒ nC0 10+ nC1 11 + nC2 12 + …. + nCn 1n = 2n
∴ nC0 + nC1 + nC2 + …. + nCn = 2n
Hence sum of the coefficients in the expansion of (1 + x)n is 2n
