Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
in the worked example, the book gets from
here:
[tex]\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} (n+1)(n+2)c_{n+2}x^n - \sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}2nc_nx^n + \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}c_nx^n = 0[/tex]
to here:
[tex] \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} [(n+1)(n+2)c_{n+2} - (2n-1)c_n]x^n = 0[/tex]
by way of:
[tex]\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}2nc_nx^n = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}2nc_nx^n[/tex]
How is this last part justified?
