= coeff. of x^(20)  in (1+x+x^2 +...+x^(10) )^4   = coeff. of x^(20)  in (1−x^(11) )^4 (1−x)^(−4)   =^(4+20−1)  C_3 −4(^(4+9−1)  C_3 )  =^(23) C_3 −4(^(12) C_3 )   = ((23×22×21)/6)−4×((12×11×10)/6)  = 23×11×7−4×2×11×10  = 11(161−80) = 11×81 = 891.

$$=\:{coeff}.\:{of}\:{x}^{\mathrm{20}} \:{in}\:\left(\mathrm{1}+{x}+{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +...+{x}^{\mathrm{10}} \right)^{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$$=\:{coeff}.\:{of}\:{x}^{\mathrm{20}} \:{in}\:\left(\mathrm{1}−{x}^{\mathrm{11}} \right)^{\mathrm{4}} \left(\mathrm{1}−{x}\right)^{−\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$$=^{\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{20}−\mathrm{1}} \:{C}_{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{4}\left(^{\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{9}−\mathrm{1}} \:{C}_{\mathrm{3}} \right) \\ $$$$=\:^{\mathrm{23}} {C}_{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{4}\left(\:^{\mathrm{12}} {C}_{\mathrm{3}} \right)\: \\ $$$$=\:\frac{\mathrm{23}×\mathrm{22}×\mathrm{21}}{\mathrm{6}}−\mathrm{4}×\frac{\mathrm{12}×\mathrm{11}×\mathrm{10}}{\mathrm{6}} \\ $$$$=\:\mathrm{23}×\mathrm{11}×\mathrm{7}−\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{11}×\mathrm{10} \\ $$$$=\:\mathrm{11}\left(\mathrm{161}−\mathrm{80}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{11}×\mathrm{81}\:=\:\mathrm{891}. \\ $$
