25 C 0 + 25 C 1 + 25 C 2 + + 25 C 24 + 25 C 25 = ? ? ^{25}C_0 + ^{25}C_1 + ^{25}C_2 + \ldots + ^{25}C_{24} + ^{25}C_{25} = ??

and I'll say no more

Using the polynomial theorem we get that : ( 1 + x ) 25 = 1 25 C 0 + x 25 C 1 + x 2 25 C 2 + + x 25 25 C 25 (1+x)^{25} = 1 \cdot ^{25}C_0 + x \cdot ^{25}C_1 + x^2 \cdot ^{25}C_2 + \ldots + x^{25} \cdot ^{25}C_{25} and putting x = 1 ( 1 + 1 ) 25 = 25 C 0 + 25 C 1 + 25 C 2 + + 25 C 25 = 2 25 = 33554432 (1+1)^{25} = ^{25}C_0 + ^{25}C_1 + ^{25}C_2 + \ldots + ^{25}C_{25} = 2 ^{25} = 33554432
