Pascal's Identity in Combinatorics

Enroll
Pascal's Identity states that for any non-negative integers ( n ) and ( k ), the binomial coefficient satisfies the relation (binom{n}{k} = binom{n-1}{k-1} + binom{n-1}{k}). This identity reflects how each entry in Pascal's Triangle is the sum of the two directly above it, illustrating a recursive relationship in combinatorial counting.
