Calculate the following sums:

a) \(\binom{5}{0} + 2\binom{5}{1} + 2^2\binom{5}{2} + \dots +2^5\binom{5}{5}\);

b) \(\binom{n}{0} - \binom{n}{1} + \dots + (-1)^n\binom{n}{n}\);

c) \(\binom{n}{0} + \binom{n}{1} + \dots + \binom{n}{n}\).

Show that any natural number \(n\) can be uniquely represented in the form \(n = \binom{x}{1} + \binom{y}{2} + \binom{z}{3}\) where \(x, y, z\) are integers such that \(0 \leq x < y < z\), or \(0 = x = y < z\).

Find \(m\) and \(n\) knowing the relation \(\binom{n+1}{m+1}: \binom{n+1}{m}:\binom{n+1}{m-1} = 5:5:3\).

Which term in the expansion \((1 + \sqrt 3)^{100}\) will be the largest by the Newton binomial formula?

How many four-digit numbers can be made using the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, if:

a) no digit is repeated more than once;

b) the repetition of digits is allowed;

c) the numbers should be odd and there should not be any repetition of digits?

Here is a fragment of the table, which is called the Leibniz triangle. Its properties are “analogous in the sense of the opposite” to the properties of Pascal’s triangle. The numbers on the boundary of the triangle are the inverses of consecutive natural numbers. Each number is equal to the sum of two numbers below it. Find the formula that connects the numbers from Pascal’s and Leibniz triangles.

Find the sums of the following series:

a) \({\frac {1} {1 \times 2}} + {\frac {1} {2 \times 3}} + {\frac {1} {3 \times 4}} + {\frac {1} {4 \times 5}} + \dots\);

b) \({\frac {1} {1 \times 2 \times 3}} + {\frac {1} {2 \times 3 \times 4}} + {\frac {1} {3 \times 4 \times 5}} + {\frac {1} {4 \times 5 \times 6}} + \dots\);

c) \({\frac {0!} {r!}} + {\frac {1!} {(r-1)!}} + {\frac {2!} {(r-2) !}} + {\frac {3!} {(r-3)!}} + \dots\) for \(r \geq 2\).

In a box, there are 10 white and 15 black balls. Four balls are removed from the box. What is the probability that all of the removed balls will be white?
