Find the co- efficient of x^99 in (x-1)*(x-2)*.........................(x-100)
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×x99−2×x99−3×x99−...−100×x99
S100=1002(−1−100)
S100=−5050
Coefficient will be -5050.
