Someone check my summation please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large \sum_{n=2}^{\infty}n(n-1)a_nx^n=\sum_{n=\color{red}{0}}^{\infty}n(n-1)a_nx^n\] and \[\large \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}na_nx^n=\sum_{n=\color{red}{0}}^{\infty}na_nx^n\] Right? It's part of a differential equation problem, but I'm just checking to see if I can make this simplification

OpenStudy (freckles):

right at n=0, n(n-1)a_nx^n is 0 and at n=1, n(n-1)a_nx^n is also 0 so yep you can start at n=2 or n=0 for the first one also similar thing with the second equality

Sweet, thanks! X)
