Homework Statement


I need to find an expression for:
[itex]y^{2}H(y)[/itex]

I know how to find:
[itex]yH(y)[/itex]
with:
[itex]yH(y)=\frac{1}{2}H_{n+1}(y)+nH_{n-1}(y)[/itex]

I looked through the miscellaneous relations but nothing stuck out to me. Can someone give me some guidance on how to go about finding a relation? I assume I do not simply multiply both sides by y!

Thanks

Multiply both sides by y, then expand out the righthand side.
