the question



the answer



I got this question, and I have a bit of an issue with part (b). I managed to prove the attached result; however, it does not really fit the above result (as it said generalise the result and then prove). Can anyone assist?

  • You surely want to find $$sum_k=0^n(-1)^knchoose k^2.$$

  • @LordSharktheUnknown I guess so but I can't seem to generate anything similar to that from the given formula that they told me to expand. I tried values for my formula and it works but there is probably something I'm not seeing to get it to look like the above statement

  • You are generalizing incorrectly. Essentially, consider the expression given in part b, and compute the coefficient of $frac 1x^2n$ on both sides using the binomial theorem. The LHS will give you some expression, and the RHS some expression. These must be the same, and their equality is a generalization of the specific case you solved.

  • Thank you . I was comparing the coefficients for 1x^4 but I understand why you took 2n as it fits 1x^4 when n=2
