Please provide some explanation with the taken steps, thank you in advance. (the question is in the attached image)

Let the random vector X = (X₁, X2, ..., Xm) have a multinomial joint probability mass function,
in the sense:
with p
(a) 1
Pp(X = x) = Pp(X₁ = x1, X₂ = x2, ..., Xm = xm)
= (p₁,..., Pm) and x = (x₁,...,xm) such that 1 xi = n.
Show that the joint moment generating function:
can be written as:
=

Notice that if Mx (t) is the joint moment generating function (MGF) for X then Mx (t₁,0,...,0)
is the MGF for the marginal of X₁. Use now the result of point (a) for showing that marginal
distribution of Xį, i = 1,...,n is the binomial distribution with parameters n and pi.
