Find the coefficient of x49 in the polynomial

\left(x-\frac{C_{1}}{C_{0}} \right)\left(x-2^{2} \frac{C_{2}}{C_{1}}\right)\left(x-3^{2}\frac{C_{3}}{C_{2}} \right).....\left(x-50^{2}\frac{C_{50}}{C_{49}} \right)

ans -----> 25( 1666 - 51 n )

it is simply -\sum_{r=1}^{50}{r^2\frac{C_{r}}{C_{r-1}}}

More simply,

r^2\times \frac{C_r}{c_{r-1}}=r^2\times \frac{\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}}{\frac{n!}{(r-1)!(n+1-r)!}}=r^2\times \frac{(r-1)!(n+1-r)!}{r!(n-r)!}=r^2\times \frac{(n+1-r)}{r}

=r\times(n+1-r)
