Equation in natural number
How can I show that:
[tex]\sum_{i=0}^{n}2^{n-i} {n+i \choose i}=2^{2^{n}} [/tex] for every natural numbers |

The identity is wrong, it should be
[tex] \sum_{i=0}^{n}2^{n-i} {n+i \choose i}=2^{2 n} [/tex] |

Well, this
[tex] \sum_{i=0}^{n}2^{n-i} {n+i \choose i}=2^{2 n} [/tex] is an identity it is true for all [tex]n[/tex] but, if I understand correctly, you may ask for the values of [tex]n[/tex] that make [tex] \sum_{i=0}^{n}2^{n-i} {n+i \choose i}=2^{2^{n}} [/tex] true. In this case we have the equation [tex]2n=2^{2^{n}}[/tex], and the solutions are [tex]n \in \lbrace 1,2 \rbrace[/tex]. |
