Calculus Level 5

For n > 0, what is the value of r = 0 n ( 1 ) r ( n r ) 1 + r ln 10 ( 1 + ln 1 0 n ) r \displaystyle\sum_{r=0}^{n} \left(-1\right)^r \binom{n}{r} \dfrac{1+r\ln 10}{\left(1+\ln 10^{n}\right)^{r}} ?

Well Parth Lohomi, you should not rate all your problems at level 5 because not that they will be attractive(as I think that blue level 5 is truly attractive) but that may frustrate the user as after solving the problem, he really get irritated by its simplicity(as he might overthink it.

Well, yeah the problem -

r = 0 n ( 1 ) r C ( n , r ) 1 + r l n 10 ( 1 + n l n 10 ) r \displaystyle \sum_{r=0}^{n}{{(-1)}^{r}C(n,r)\frac{1+rln10}{{(1+nln10)}^{r}}}

r = 0 n C ( n , r ) 1 1 + n l n 10 r + r l n 10 C ( n , r ) 1 1 + n l n 10 r \displaystyle \sum_{r=0}^{n}{C(n,r){\frac{-1}{1+nln10}}^{r} + rln10C(n,r){\frac{-1}{1+nln10}}^{r}}

The first one is simply binomial expansion and the second one will be transformed to be a binomial expansion as well.

( 1 1 1 + n l n 10 ) n + r = 1 n n l n 10 C ( n 1 , r 1 ) 1 1 + n l n 10 r \displaystyle {(1 - \frac{1}{1+nln10})}^{n} + \sum_{r=1}^{n}{nln10C(n-1,r-1){\frac{-1}{1+nln10}}^{r}} [As C ( n , r ) = n r C ( n 1 , r 1 ) C(n,r) = \frac{n}{r}C(n-1,r-1) , lower bound of the sum as zero just equal to 0, hence it is changed to 1]

( 1 1 1 + n l n 10 ) n + n l n 10 1 1 + n l n 10 r = 1 n C ( n 1 , r 1 ) 1 1 + n l n 10 ] r 1 \displaystyle {(1 - \frac{1}{1+nln10})}^{n} + nln10\frac{-1}{1+nln10}\sum_{r=1}^{n}{C(n-1,r-1)\frac{-1}{1+nln10}]^{r-1}}

And hence, the second one is also a binomial expansion, so,

( 1 1 1 + n l n 10 ) n + n l n 10 1 1 + n l n 10 ( 1 1 1 + n l n 10 ) n 1 \displaystyle {(1 - \frac{1}{1+nln10})}^{n} + nln10\frac{-1}{1+nln10}{(1 - \frac{1}{1+nln10})}^{n-1}

= ( 1 1 1 + n l n 10 ) n 1 ( 1 1 1 + n l n 10 n l n 10 1 + n l n 10 ) \displaystyle = {(1 - \frac{1}{1+nln10})}^{n-1}(1 - \frac{1}{1+nln10} - \frac{nln10}{1+nln10})

which is just equal to 0 \boxed{0}

And this is Level 5!

I setted L-4,although 36 attempts and 16 solvers, right?

It seems tough to me,deserves to be level 5.
