The identity Σ from r = 0 to n of (-1)^r ⁿCᵣ = 0 is connected with which substitution?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Put x = -1 in (1 + x)ⁿ

The governing concept is the binomial theorem, (1+x)ⁿ = Σ from r=0 to n of ⁿCᵣxʳ. The required identity contains the factor (−1)^r, so x must be replaced by −1; this changes xʳ into (−1)^r. The left side then becomes (1−1)ⁿ=0ⁿ=0 for positive n, while the expansion becomes Σ ⁿCᵣ(−1)^r. Therefore option C is correct. If x=1 is used, the result is the sum of all positive coefficients, 2ⁿ. If x=0 is used, all terms except the constant term vanish. Taking x=n creates no alternating sign pattern and cannot produce the stated identity.
