Homework Statement



Compute [tex]\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{x^{n}\left(x-1\right)^{n}}{n!} \times e^{x}\right)[/tex]

Homework Equations



[tex]\left(\frac{x^{n}\left(x-1\right)^{n}}{n!} \times e^{x}\right)[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution



I got a solution of sorts applying the product rule and then applying the product rule again but it seemed awfully messy and i was wondering what the correct solution is and if there are steps taken to tidy all this up and give a nicer answer

Thanks

Would you mind posting your answer? It may be ok, [tex]\frac {x^{n-1}(x-1)^{n}e^{x}}{(n-1)!} + \frac {x^{n}(x-1)^{n-1}e^{x}}{(n-1)!} + \frac {x^{n}(x-1)^{n}e^{x}}{(n)!}[/tex]
