If the sum of the coefficients of all even powers of x in the product 1 + x + x 2 + … + x 2 n 1 - x +…

If the sum of the coefficients of all even powers of x in the product 1+x+x2++x2n1-x+x2-x3++x2n is 61, then n is equal to

Solution

Let 1-x+x2..1+x+x2=a0+a1×a2x2+
Put x=1,
12n+1=a0+a1+a2+..a2n  2
Put x=-1
2n+1×1=a0-a1+a2+..a2n  2
From 1+2
4n+2=2a0+a2+
=2×61
2n+1=61n=30
