The coefficient of x48 in (1+x)+2(1+x)2+3(1+x)3+⋯+100(1+x)100 is equal to [2026]
(3)
Let 1+x=r
∴S=1·r+2·r2+3·r3+⋯+100r100 ...(1) (AGP)
rS=1·r2+2·r3+⋯+99r100+100r101 ...(2)
(1)-(2) gives
S=-(1+x)101x2+1x2+100(1+x)101x
∴coefficient of x48 in S
=-coefficient of x48 in (1+x)101x2+100.Coefficient of x48 in (1+x)101x
=100.C49101-C50101
