Step 1
since, we know Binomial Expansion for $$\displaystyle{\left({1}+{x}^{{n}}\right)}$$ is Replace
$$\displaystyle{\left({1}+{x}\right)}^{{n}}={1}+{n}{x}+{\frac{{{n}{\left({n}-{1}\right)}}}{{{2}!}}}{x}^{{2}}+{\frac{{{n}{\left({n}-{1}\right)}{\left({n}-{2}\right)}}}{{{3}!}}}{x}^{{3}}+\dot{{s}}+{x}^{{n}}$$
Replace n by (n-1), we get
$$\displaystyle{\left({1}+{x}\right)}^{{{n}-{1}}}={1}+{\left({n}-{1}\right)}{x}+{\frac{{{\left({n}-{1}\right)}{\left({n}-{2}\right)}}}{{{2}!}}}{x}^{{2}}+{\frac{{{\left({n}-{1}\right)}{\left({n}-{2}\right)}{\left({n}-{3}\right)}}}{{{3}!}}}{x}^{{3}}+\dot{{s}}+{x}^{{{n}-{1}}}$$
Step 2
Now, given that
$$\displaystyle{F}={C}{\left[{\frac{{{\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{n}}-{1}}}{{{i}}}}\right]}$$
Since, we know
$$\displaystyle{\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{n}}={1}+{n}{i}+{\frac{{{n}{\left({n}-{1}\right)}}}{{{2}!}}}{i}^{{2}}+\dot{{s}}+{i}^{{n}}$$
then
$$\displaystyle{\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{n}}-{1}={1}+{n}{i}+{\frac{{{n}{\left({n}-{1}\right)}}}{{{2}!}}}{i}^{{2}}+\dot{{s}}+{i}^{{n}}-{1}$$
Now, we can cancel "1" in right side of equation, we get
$$\displaystyle{\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{n}}-{1}={n}{i}+{\frac{{{n}{\left({n}-{1}\right)}}}{{{2}!}}}{i}^{{2}}+\dot{{s}}$$
$$\displaystyle{\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{n}}-{1}={i}{\left({n}{i}+{\frac{{{n}{\left({n}-{1}\right)}}}{{{2}!}}}{i}^{{2}}+\dot{{s}}\right)}$$ then
$$\displaystyle{\frac{{{\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{n}}-{1}}}{{{i}}}}={\frac{{{i}{\left({n}{i}+{\frac{{{n}{\left({n}-{1}\right)}}}{{{2}!}}}{i}^{{2}}+\dot{{s}}\right)}}}{{{i}}}}={\left({n}+{\frac{{{n}{\left({n}-{1}\right)}}}{{{2}!}}}{i}+{\frac{{{n}{\left({n}-{1}\right)}{\left({n}-{2}\right)}}}{{{3}!}}}{i}^{{2}}+\dot{{s}}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle{\left({\frac{{{\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{n}}-{1}}}{{{i}}}}\right)}={\left({n}+{\frac{{{n}{\left({n}-{1}\right)}}}{{{2}!}}}{i}+{\frac{{{n}{\left({n}-{1}\right)}{\left({n}-{2}\right)}}}{{{3}!}}}{i}^{{2}}+\dot{{s}}\right)}$$
we can take common "n" in right side of equation, we get
$$\displaystyle{\left({\frac{{{\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{n}}-{1}}}{{{i}}}}\right)}={n}{\left({1}+{\frac{{{\left({n}-{1}\right)}}}{{{2}!}}}{i}+{\frac{{{\left({n}-{1}\right)}{\left({n}-{2}\right)}}}{{{3}!}}}{i}^{{2}}+\dot{{s}}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle{\left({\frac{{{\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{n}}-{1}}}{{{i}}}}\right)}={n}{\left({1}+{\frac{{{1}}}{{{2}}}}{\left({\left({n}-{1}\right)}{i}+{\frac{{{\left({n}-{1}\right)}{\left({n}-{2}\right)}}}{{{2}!}}}{i}^{{2}}+\dot{{s}}+{1}-{1}\right)}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle{\left({\frac{{{\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{n}}-{1}}}{{{i}}}}\right)}={n}{\left({1}+{\frac{{{1}}}{{{2}}}}{\left({1}+{\left({n}-{1}\right)}{i}+{\frac{{{\left({n}-{1}\right)}{\left({n}-{2}\right)}}}{{{2}!}}}{i}^{{2}}+\dot{{s}}\right)}-{\frac{{{1}}}{{{2}}}}\right)}$$
From step (1), we know
$$\left(1+(n-1)i+\frac{(n-1)(n-2)}{2!}i^2+\dots\right)=(1+i) ^{n-1}$$$$\displaystyle{\left({\frac{{{\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{n}}-{1}}}{{{i}}}}\right)}={n}{\left({\frac{{{1}}}{{{2}}}}+{\frac{{{\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{{n}-{1}}}}}{{{2}}}}\right)}$$
then
$$\displaystyle{F}={C}{\left({\frac{{{\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{n}}-{1}}}{{{i}}}}\right)}={n}{C}{\left({\frac{{{1}}}{{{2}}}}+{\frac{{{\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{{n}-{1}}}}}{{{2}}}}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{\frac{{{F}}}{{{n}{C}}}}-{\frac{{{1}}}{{{2}}}}={\frac{{{\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{{n}-{1}}}}}{{{2}}}}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{2}{\left({\frac{{{F}}}{{{n}{C}}}}-{\frac{{{1}}}{{{2}}}}\right)}={\left({1}+{i}\right)}^{{{n}-{1}}}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{\left({\frac{{{2}{F}}}{{{n}{C}}}}-{1}\right)}^{{{\frac{{{1}}}{{{\left({n}-{1}\right)}}}}}}={1}+{i}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{i}={\left({\frac{{{2}{F}}}{{{n}{C}}}}-{1}\right)}^{{{\frac{{{1}}}{{{\left({n}-{1}\right)}}}}}}-{1}$$
$$\displaystyle{i}={\left({\frac{{{2}{F}}}{{{n}{C}}}}-{1}\right)}^{{{\frac{{{1}}}{{{\left({n}-{1}\right)}}}}}}-{1}$$
