'Use a combinatorial proof to show that (r)? = 2n k=0'
Added by Ryan O.
Step 1
(r)? is the number of ways to choose 0 or 1 elements from a set of r elements. Now, let's consider a set of n elements. We want to count the number of ways to choose 0 or 1 elements from this set, and we want to do it using a combinatorial proof. One way to do Show more…

Give a combinatorial proof of one of the following: a) For n ≥ k ≥ 3, k(k-1)(k-2)(n choose k) = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3 choose k-3) b) For n ≥ 1, ̳(k=0 to n) k(n choose k) = n2^(n-1) c) For n ≥ k ≥ 1, S(n,k) = S(n-1,k-1) + kS(n-1,k)
