find the value of expression: C(n,0)-c(n,1)+c(n,2)-c(n,3)+.......+C(n,n)

[ahmed]

hello all
who can help me to find the value of following expression for any n i cannot know how can begin to solve this expression if you know any topic to help me
C(n,0)-c(n,1)+c(n,2)-c(n,3)+.......+C(n,n)
regards

...find the value of following expression...
C(n,0)-c(n,1)+c(n,2)-c(n,3)+.......+C(n,n)

Hint: Consider Pascal's Triangle. In particular, consider the values in any row, comparing the values going from right to left against those going from left to right.

thanks for your answer
but i need equation find value of these expression for any n

thanks for your answer

Hint: Follow the hint provided earlier, as no "equation" is necessary for finding the one solution value.

hello stapel
how can formal another expression to this expression
C(n,0)-c(n,1)+c(n,2)-c(n,3)+.......+C(n,n)

 

[ahmed]

my question is
how can find another expression or simplest expression to this expression
C(n,0)-c(n,1)+c(n,2)-c(n,3)+.......+C(n,n)

I understand that this is your question. Do you understand what I've asked you to do, in order to find the answer to your question?

Have you done a few simple cases to get a feel for this: C(1,0)- C(1,1), C(2,0)- C(2,1)+ C(2,2), C(3,0)- C(3,1)+ C(3,2)- C(3,3)?

(Do you even know what "C(n,i)" means? I presume you do but you have given no indication of that.)

thank to all for your answer
i know how can find the value of this expression for any an n suppose n=4 but
i need extract equation from this expression this equation given the same result for any n
like this simple example 1+2+3+.......+n=sum(x) for x=1,2,.....+n

i know how can find the value of this expression for any an n suppose n=4...

Great! What solution value have you obtained?

...i need extract equation from this expression this equation given the same result for any n

Use the pattern you noted, when you found your answer above, to start figuring out how to restate the summation to get what you're needing. If this is the part where you're getting stuck, then please reply showing your work for finding "the value of this expression for any n" and pointing out what pattern you noticed that allowed you to find "the value". Then we can work from there.

Please be complete. Thank you!
