Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
At first glance, this looks like the polynomial form of e^x, but the expansion of e^x goes to infinity, so any use of that seems ruled out. Furthermore, I can't try expanding this or writing it in terms of the rth term and equating the power of x to n and doing something with that. Basically, I don't know how to begin.
