Question:
The coefficient of x^2 in the expansion of (1 + x)^6 is C. If the coefficient of x^3 in the same expansion is D, find C - D.
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: Coefficients are C(6, 2) and C(6, 3).
Step 1: C = C(6, 2) = 15. Step 2: D = C(6, 3) = 20. Step 3: C - D = 15 - 20 = -5.
Correct Answer: A
