Question Number 55784 by gunawan last updated on 04/Mar/19
If n an odd natural number, then Σ_(r=0) ^n (((−1)^r )/(^n C_r )) equals
$$\mathrm{If}\:{n}\:\mathrm{an}\:\mathrm{odd}\:\mathrm{natural}\:\mathrm{number},\:\mathrm{then} \\ $$$$\underset{{r}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{{n}} {\sum}}\:\frac{\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{r}} }{\:^{{n}} {C}_{{r}} \:}\:\mathrm{equals} \\ $$

S=T_0 +T_1 +T_2 +...+T_n =(((−1)^0 )/((n!)/(0!(n−0)!)))+(((−1)^1 )/((n!)/(1!(n−1)!)))+(((−1)^2 )/((n!)/(2!(n−2)!)))+(((−1)^3 )/((n!)/(3!(n−3)!)))+...+(((−1)^n )/((n!)/(n!(n−n)!))) =((0!(n−0)!)/(n!))−((1!(n−1)!)/(n!))+((2!(n−2)!)/(n!))−((3!(n−3)!)/(n!))+..−((n!(n−n)!)/(n!)) now look T_0 =((0!(n−0)!)/(n!))=1 T_n =((−n!(n−n)!)/(n!))=−1 T_0 +T_n =0 T_1 =((−1!(n−1)!)/(n!))=((−1)/(n−1)) T_(n−1) =(((−1)^(n−1) ×(n−1)!(1)!)/(n!))=(1/(n−1)) T_1 +T_(n−1) =0 now let n=2k+1 terms →k=((n−1)/2) middle term is (k+1)_(th) term k+1→(((n−1)/2)+1)→((n+1)/2) k+1 th term→((n+1)/2) term→(((−1)^((n+1)/2) )/(nc_((n+1)/2) )) =(((((n+1)/2))!(n−((n+1)/2))!)/(n!))→(((((n+1)/2))!(((n−1)/2))!)/(n!)) now on addition all terms ancelled each other as explained above...only one term remain so S=(((((n+1)/2))!(((n−1)/2))!)/n)←this is the answer
