Binomial Theorem 2 Question 13

16. If n is a positive integer and

(1+x+x2)n=a0+a1x++a2nx2n

Then, show that, a02a12++a2n2=an.

(1994, 5M)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (1+x+x2)n=a0+a1x++a2nx2n

Replacing x by 1/x, we get

11x+1x2n=a0a1x+a2x2a3x3++a2nx2n

Now, a02a12+a22a32++a2n2= coefficient of the term independent of x in

[a0+a1x+a2x2++a2nx2n]×a0a1x+a2x2+a2nx2n

= Coefficient of the term independent of x in

(1+x+x2)n11x+1x2n

Now, RHS =(1+x+x2)n11x+1x2n

=(1+x+x2)n(x2x+1)nx2n=[(x2+1)2x2]nx2n=(1+2x2+x4x2)nx2n=(1+x2+x4)nx2n

Thus, a02a12+a22a32++a2n2

= Coefficient of the term independent of x in

1x2n(1+x2+x4)n

= Coefficient of x2n in (1+x2+x4)n

= Coefficient of tn in (1+t+t2)n=an
