Chapter 1.2 Problem 10E

Question

Pascal's triangle gives a method for calculating the binomial coefficients; it begins as follows:

The \(n\)th row of this triangle gives the coefficients for \((a+b)^{n-1}\). To find an entry in the table other than a 1 on the boundary, add the two nearest numbers in the row directly above. The equation

\(\left(\begin{array}{l}n \\r\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1 \\

r\end{array}\right)+\left(\begin{array}{c}n-1 \\r-1\end{array}\right),\)

Solution

Solution:

Step 1 of 3:

We have to prove the pascal's equation

  nCr = n-1Cr + n-1Cr-1

\And how the pascal's triangle works to find the binomial coefficients.
