For $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$, recall, without giving a proof, the power series expansion of $( 1 + x ) ^ { \alpha }$ on $]-1,1[$.
Justify the formula: $$\forall x \in ]-1,1[ , \quad \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 1 - x } } = \sum _ { n = 0 } ^ { + \infty } \frac { \binom { 2 n } { n } } { 4 ^ { n } } x ^ { n }$$
We consider a natural integer $n$ and a complex number $a$. We define a family of polynomials $(A_0, A_1, \ldots, A_n)$ by setting $$A_0 = 1 \quad \text{and, for all } k \in \llbracket 1, n \rrbracket, \quad A_k = \frac{1}{k!} X(X - ka)^{k-1}.$$ Using the result of Question 24, deduce Abel's binomial identity: $$\forall (a, x, y) \in \mathbb{C}^3, \quad (x+y)^n = y^n + \sum_{k=1}^{n} \binom{n}{k} x(x - ka)^{k-1}(y + ka)^{n-k}.$$
We consider a natural integer $n$ and a complex number $a$. Using Abel's binomial identity $$\forall (a, x, y) \in \mathbb{C}^3, \quad (x+y)^n = y^n + \sum_{k=1}^{n} \binom{n}{k} x(x - ka)^{k-1}(y + ka)^{n-k},$$ establish the relation $$\forall (a, y) \in \mathbb{C}^2, \quad ny^{n-1} = \sum_{k=1}^{n} \binom{n}{k} (-ka)^{k-1}(y + ka)^{n-k}.$$

We set, for all $t \in I$, $$f ( t ) = \sum _ { n = 0 } ^ { + \infty } C _ { n } t ^ { n } \quad \text { and } \quad g ( t ) = 2 t f ( t ) .$$ Show that $\varepsilon$ is continuous on $I \backslash \left\{ \frac { 1 } { 4 } \right\}$. Deduce $$\forall t \in I , \quad g ( t ) = 1 - \sqrt { 1 - 4 t } .$$

Justify the existence of a sequence of real numbers $\left( a _ { n } \right) _ { n \in \mathbb { N } }$ such that $$\forall x \in ] - 1,1 \left[ , \quad \sqrt { 1 + x } = 1 + \sum _ { n = 0 } ^ { + \infty } a _ { n } x ^ { n + 1 } , \right.$$ and, for all $n \in \mathbb { N }$, express $a _ { n }$ using a binomial coefficient.
