## Exercise 4

For each of the following, give two proofs: one algebraic and one using counting.

### (a)
\[
\sum_{r=0}^{n} \binom{n}{r} (r + 1) 2^r = 3^{n-1}(2n + 3)
\]

### (b)
\[
\sum_{a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + a_4 = n} \binom{n}{a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4} a_1 a_2 3^{a_3} = n(n-1)6^{n-2}
\]

(Here \( n \) is fixed, and the sum is over all 4-tuples \( a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4 \) of nonnegative integers whose sum is \( n \).)
