$$\Rightarrow{a}_{\mathrm{0}} +{a}_{\mathrm{1}} +....+{a}_{\mathrm{7}} =\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{15}} −\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\frac{\mathrm{16}!}{\left(\mathrm{8}!\right)^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$

![total terms=16+1=17 sum of coeffucients (1+x)^(16) =1+16c_1 x+16c_2 x^2 +16c_3 x^3 +..+16c_(16) x^(16) 2^(16) =16c_0 +16c_1 +...+16c_8 +16c_9 +16c_(10) +..+16c_(16) we have ti find the value of 16c_(16) +16c_(15) +16c_(14) +16c_(13) +16c_(12) +16c_(11) +16c_(10) +16c_9 =k again 16c_0 +16c_1 +16c_2 +16c_3 +16c_4 +16c_5 +16c_6 +16c_7 =k [since nc_r =nc_(n−r) ] now ninth term is 16c_8 x^8 →coeeficient=16c_8 so 2k+16c_8 =2^(16) 2k=2^(16) −((16!)/(8!8!)) k=2^(15) −(1/2)(((16!)/(8!8!))) required ans is2^(15) −(1/2)(((16!)/(8!8!))) pls check...](Q55799.png)
