i) Using the binomial theorem you have



Equate the co-efficients of on both sides using the above for .

On the LHS we have



and on the RHS we want the co-efficients of since we are dividing by . The second binomial clearly does not have a co-efficient of so we need only to find the required co-efficient of the first binomial, which is

.

ii) from i) set

This gives



Subtract 1 and note that

for all .

This gives



Rewriting in sigma notation, we get:



Rewrite the binomial on the LHS:



Multiply both sides by :



And rewrite the LHS:
