Hi my name is Anna and I'm a senior in college. I am a student.

Question: how can I prove that 2nCn is less than 4ⁿ, for all positive integers n?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anna,

One way is use the binomial theorem to expand (1+x)²ⁿ and note that one of the terms is 2nCnxⁿ; now what happens if you set x = 1?
