Problems from Identity of symmetry

Calculate the value of the sum: $$$ \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}+ \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}+ \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}+ \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}$$$

Development:

Applying the formulas we have:

$$$ \begin{array}{rl} \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}+ \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}+ \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}+ \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix} &= 1+4+\dfrac{4!}{2!2!}+4+1 \\ &=1+4+6+4+1=16 \end{array}$$$ note the symmetry of the numbers.

Solution:

$$16$$
