If you think about how this would expand, x^99 can only be created when 99 xs multiply, times a constant.

 

Because there are 100 different constants (-1 to -100), the coefficent will be the sum of an arithmetic sequence.

 

1×x992×x993×x99...100×x99

 

S100=1002(1100)

 

S100=5050

 

Coefficient will be -5050.
