Question

I'm not following how the sum expression on top leads to the constants being factorial expressions on the bottom.

Please break it down so an ignorant person like me can understand it.

Thank you.

∞ Σ(n − 1)cn-1x² = −1− x + co + ₁x + Σ n=2 n=2 Cản Because the left-hand side contains neither a constant term nor a term containing x to the first power, the identity principle now yields co = 1, ₁ = 1, and C₂ = (n-1)Cn-1 for n 2. It follows that C₂ = 1·C₁ = 1!, C3 = 2 C₂ = 2!, C2 . C4 = 3· C3 = 3!,
