Exactly what I got! @Finn Hulse :D
easy one ............................
n = 0 ∑ 5 ( n 5 ) = ( 0 5 ) + ( 1 5 ) + ( 2 5 ) + ( 3 5 ) + ( 4 5 ) + ( 5 5 ) = 2 ( 1 + 5 + 1 0 ) = 3 2
Complicated way to solve such an easy problem lol @Páll Márton

Remember the Binomial Expansion Theorem and it's relationship to Pascal's Triangle. The n th column will have a total sum of 2 n − 1 . Of course, the first column adds simply to 1 . For the expansion, the sum will thus be 2 5 which is 3 2 . :D
