Recall that for every non-negative integer n the factorial is defined as n! = 1·2... (n-1). n. In particular, 0! = 1 and n! = (n − 1)! - n for n ≥ 1. For every integer 0 ≤ k ≤n, we now define the binomial coefficient (2) as n k We moreover set = n! k!(n - k)!* = 0 if k>n> 0. Let 1 ≤ k ≤ n. Prove that (2) = (¹) + (2−¹).

Recall that for every non-negative integer n the factorial is defined as n! = 1·2... (n − 1). n.
In particular, 0! = 1 and n! = (n − 1)! - n for n ≥ 1.
For every integer 0 ≤ k ≤n, we now define the binomial coefficient (2) as
(3) =
We moreover set (2) = 0 if k > n ≥ 0.
n!
k! (n – k)!*
Let 1 ≤ k ≤ n. Prove that (2) = (n=¹) + (R=1).
