Let S = (x – 1)4 + 4(x – 1)3 + 6(x – 1)2 + 4(x – 1) + 1. Then S equals :
Explanation:
S = (x − 1)4 + 4(x − 1)3 + 6(x − 1 )2 + 4(x − 1) + 1
(a + b)4 = 4C0 × a4 + 4C1 × a3 × b + 4C2 × a2 × b2 + 4C3 × a × b3 + 4C4 × b4
= a4 + 4a3b + 6a2b2 + 4ab3 + b4
∴ We can see that S = [(x − 1) + 1]4 = x4
Hence, option (c).
