Guess and verify the generating function for the following sequence and write few terms of the sequence explicitly: a(n+2) = -a(n)/((n+2)(n+1)) for any integer n>0, subject to the initial conditions: a(0) = 1, a(1) = 0 Theoretical or computational or combination of both.

Use the generating function to show that $$ P_{2 n+1}(0)=0 \quad \text { and } \quad P_{2 n}(0)=\left(\begin{array}{c} -1 / 2 \\ n \end{array}\right)=\frac{(-1)^{n}(2 n-1) ! !}{2^{n} n !} $$ Hints: Expand (5.1) for $x=0$ in powers of $h$ and equate coefficients of powers of $h$ in (5.2). See Chapter 1, Section 13C.
