MHB Coefficent in a infinite power series

Click For Summary
To find the coefficient of x^9 in an infinite power series, one can analyze the combinations of terms that sum to 9. The equation 9 = 0 + 9, 1 + 8, 2 + 7, and so on, illustrates the various combinations of non-negative integers that yield this result. Each combination corresponds to a unique product contributing to the coefficient. In total, there are 10 distinct products that result in x^9. Therefore, the coefficient of x^9 in the series is 10.

For (a) 9= 0+ 9= 1+8= 2+ 7= 3+ 6= 4+ 5= 5+ 4= 6+ 3= 7+ 2= 8+ 1= 9+ 0.
There are 10 products that give $x^9$ so the coefficient is 10.
 
Greetings, I am studying probability theory [non-measure theory] from a textbook. I stumbled to the topic stating that Cauchy Distribution has no moments. It was not proved, and I tried working it via direct calculation of the improper integral of E[X^n] for the case n=1. Anyhow, I wanted to generalize this without success. I stumbled upon this thread here: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/how-to-prove-the-cauchy-distribution-has-no-moments.992416/ I really enjoyed the proof...
