9. The sum of the first four terms in the expansion of (1−2x)4(1-2x)^4 is equal to the sum of the first three terms in the expansion of (1−x)8(1-x)^8. Show that this is true only if x=0x=0 or x=−14x=-\frac{1}{4}.

Step 1: Find the first four terms of the expansion of (1−2x)4(1-2x)^4.
Using the binomial theorem (a+b)n=(n0)an+(n1)an−1b+(n2)an−2b2+(n3)an−3b3+…(a+b)^n = \binom{n}{0}a^n + \binom{n}{1}a^{n-1}b + \binom{n}{2}a^{n-2}b^2 + \binom{n}{3}a^{n-3}b^3 + \dots
