Answer
In the expansion of a binomial expression, there are certain symmetries that can be utilized to simplify the given equation.
- The coefficient of the first term in the binomial expansion is equal to the coefficient of the last term.
- Similarly, the coefficient of the second term is equal to the coefficient of the second last term, and so on.
Thus, the equation can be written as follows: $$ ^{2n+1}C_0 + ^{2n+1}C_1 + ^{2n+1}C_2 + \ldots + ^{2n+1}C_n + ^{2n+1}C_{n+1} + ^{2n+1}C_{n+2} + \ldots + ^{2n+1}C_{2n+1} = (1+1)^{2n+1} $$ This simplifies to: $$ 2^{2n+1} $$
We can express the sum accordingly: $$ ^{2n+1}C_0 + 2\left(^{2n+1}C_1 + ^{2n+1}C_2 + \ldots + ^{2n+1}C_n\right) + ^{2n+1}C_{2n+1} = 2^{2n+1} $$
Since both (^{2n+1}C_0) and (^{2n+1}C_{2n+1}) are equal to 1, we get: $$ 1 + 2T + 1 = 2^{2n+1} $$
This reduces further to: $$ 1 + T = \frac{2^{2n+1}}{2} = 2^{2n} $$
Given that ( T = 255 ), we have: $$ 1 + 255 = 2^{2n} $$
Hence: $$ 256 = 2^{2n} \implies 2^{2n} = 2^8 $$
Therefore: $$ 2n = 8 \implies n = 4 $$
Thus, the value of ( n ) is 4.
