Is there a way to calculate:$\sum_{i=0}^{k} {2k+1\choose k-i}$ using only:
- symmetry;
- pascal's triangle;
- one of these sums: $$\sum_{i=0}^{k} {n+i\choose i}={n+k+1\choose k}$$ and $${p\choose p}+{p+1\choose p}+\dots+{n\choose p}={n+1\choose p+1}.$$ I am not sure, because I do not see a way to get same lower number in all collectors so I can use the second sum. Also I tried using symmetry but not helpful really.
