Find the sum of coefficients of two middle terms in the binomial expansion of (1 + x)2n-1
Given:
Total terms after expansion = 2n-1+1=2n
Middle term = 2n/2 = nth term
So two required middle terms are : nth & (n+1)th term
k= (n-1) & n for both terms respectively.
(1 + x)2n-1
Coefficient of nth term;
=2n-1Cn-1
Coefficient of (n+1)th term ;
= 2n-1Cn
Sum of coefficients = 2n-1Cn-1 + 2n-1Cn
= 2n-1+1Cn
=2nCn
