Sum of coefficients of $x^i$ (Multinomial theorem application) 
A polynomial in $x$ is defined by
  $$a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+ \cdots + a_{2n}x^{2n}=(x+2x^2+ \cdots +nx^n)^2.$$
  Show that the sum of all $a_i$, for $i\in\{n+1,n+2, \ldots , 2n\}$, is
  $$ \frac {n(n+1)(5n^2+5n+2)} {24}.$$

I don't know how to proceed. I know the Multinomial theorem, however, I have problems in applying it. Any help will be appreciated as it will help me understand the theorem well.
Thanks!
 A: Here is an easy method using multinomial coefficients. Put $x=1$ to get the sum of all the coefficients. Now, we want to evaluate $\sum_{i=0}^na_i$, then we will subtract that from sum of all coefficients. Observe that these coefficients will remain unaltered even in the following expansion (because the additional terms do not contribute to powers less than $x^{n+1}$):
$$(x+2x^2+3x^3+...)^2 = x^2(1+2x+3x^2+...)^2$$
$$ = x^2\Bigg(\frac{1}{(1-x)^2}\Bigg)^2$$
$$ = \frac{x^2}{(1-x)^4}$$
$$ = x^2\sum_{m=0}^\infty\binom{m+4-1}{4-1}x^m$$
Now, apply the identity that $$\sum_{i=k}^n\binom{i}{k} = \binom{n+1}{k+1}$$
and you are done.
Hope it helps:)
A: Write $(x+2x^2+\cdots+nx^n)^2=(x+2x^2+\cdots+nx^n)(x+2x^2+\cdots+nx^n)$ and for each coefficient in the first factor find the sum of the coefficients in the second factor with which it will enter into the desired sum: The coefficient $k$ in the first factor is paired with $n+1-k$ through $n$ in the second factor, so it contributes
\begin{eqnarray*}
k\sum_{j=n+1-k}^nj
&=&
k\left(\sum_{j=1}^nj-\sum_{j=1}^{n-k}j\right)
\\
&=&
k\left(\frac{n(n+1)}2-\frac{(n-k)(n-k+1)}2\right)
\\&=&
\left(n+\frac12\right)k^2-\frac12k^3\;.
\end{eqnarray*}
Then summing over $k$ yields
\begin{eqnarray*}
\sum_{k=1}^n\left(\left(n+\frac12\right)k^2-\frac12k^3\right)
&=&\left(n+\frac12\right)\sum_{k=1}^nk^2-\frac12\sum_{k=1}^nk^3
\\
&=&
\left(n+\frac12\right)\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}6-\frac12\left(\frac{n(n+1)}2\right)^2
\\
&=&
\frac{n(n+1)(5n^2+5n+2)}{24}\;.
\end{eqnarray*}
A: Let $S_n$ be the required sum. By expanding the right hand side of $$a_0 + a_1 x + \ldots + a_{2n} x^{2n} = (x + 2x^2 + \ldots + nx^n)^2$$ we have 
$$a_{n+i} = n \cdot i + (n-1) \cdot (i+1) + (n-2) \cdot (i+2) + \cdots \ + i \cdot n$$ for $i=1, 2, \ldots, n.$ 
Summing over $i=1,2,\ldots, n$ gives
$$ S_n = n(1 + 2 + 3+ \ldots + n) + (n-1)(2+ 3 + \ldots + n) + \ \ldots \ + 2( (n-1) + n) + 1(n) $$
The terms in the brackets are the sum of the first $n$ integers (which equals $\binom{n+1}{2}$) minus the sum of the first $k$ integers (which equals $\binom{k+1}{2}$) so we get
$$ S_n = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} (n-k) \left( \binom{n+1}{2} - \binom{k+1}{2} \right)$$
$$ = \binom{n+1}{2} \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} (n-k) - \sum_{k=1}^{n-1} \binom{n-k}{1} \binom{k+1}{2}$$
Again, we have $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} (n-k) = \binom{n+1}{2}$ so the first term above simplifies to $\binom{n+1}{2}^2.$ 
To pick a $4$-element subset from $n+2$ elements we follow this scheme - Pick element $k+2$  ($ \ k$ from $1$ to $n-1$) to be $3$-rd element of the subset, then pick $2$ from the $k+1$ elements on its left and $1$ element from the $n-k$ on its right. Summing over all possibilities of what the $3$rd element could be yields the second term above.
Therefore, $$S_n = \binom{n+1}{2}^2 - \binom{n+2}{4}$$
$$ \ \ \ \ \ \  \ \ \  = \frac {n(n+1)(5n^2+5n+2)} {24}$$
