 24.5.1 $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}{n\choose k}\mathop{B_{k}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x\right)=nx^{n-1},$ $n=2,3,\dots$,
 24.5.2 $\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n\choose k}\mathop{E_{k}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x\right)+\mathop{E_% {n}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x\right)=2x^{n},$ $n=1,2,\dots$.
 24.5.3 $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}{n\choose k}\mathop{B_{k}\/}\nolimits=0,$ $n=2,3,\dots$,
 24.5.4 $\sum_{k=0}^{n}{2n\choose 2k}\mathop{E_{2k}\/}\nolimits=0,$ $n=1,2,\dots$,
 24.5.5 $\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n\choose k}2^{k}\mathop{E_{n-k}\/}\nolimits+\mathop{E_{n}\/}% \nolimits=2.$

# §24.5(ii) Other Identities

 24.5.6 $\sum_{k=2}^{n}{n\choose k-2}\frac{\mathop{B_{k}\/}\nolimits}{k}=\frac{1}{(n+1)% (n+2)}-\mathop{B_{n+1}\/}\nolimits,$ $n=2,3,\dots$,
 24.5.7 $\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n\choose k}\frac{\mathop{B_{k}\/}\nolimits}{n+2-k}=\frac{% \mathop{B_{n+1}\/}\nolimits}{n+1},$ $n=1,2,\dots$,
 24.5.8 $\sum_{k=0}^{n}\frac{2^{2k}\mathop{B_{2k}\/}\nolimits}{(2k)!(2n+1-2k)!}=\frac{1% }{(2n)!},$ $n=1,2,\dots$.

# §24.5(iii) Inversion Formulas

In each of (24.5.9) and (24.5.10) the first identity implies the second one and vice-versa.

 24.5.9 $\displaystyle a_{n}$ $\displaystyle=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n\choose k}\frac{b_{n-k}}{k+1},$ $\displaystyle b_{n}$ $\displaystyle=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n\choose k}\mathop{B_{k}\/}\nolimits a_{n-k}.$ 24.5.10 $\displaystyle a_{n}$ $\displaystyle=\sum_{k=0}^{\left\lfloor\ifrac{n}{2}\right\rfloor}{n\choose 2k}b% _{n-2k},$ $\displaystyle b_{n}$ $\displaystyle=\sum_{k=0}^{\left\lfloor\ifrac{n}{2}\right\rfloor}{n\choose 2k}% \mathop{E_{2k}\/}\nolimits a_{n-2k}.$
