Let $h_{0}, h_{1}, h_{2}, ldots, h_{n}, ldots$ be the sequence defined by $h_{n}=left(egin{array}{c}n \ 2end{array} ight),(n geq 0)$. Determine the generating function for the sequence.
If $G(x)$ is the generating function for the sequence $\left\{a_{k}\right\}$ what is the generating function for each of these sequences? a) $2 a_{0}, 2 a_{1}, 2 a_{2}, 2 a_{3}, \cdots$ b) $0, a_{0}, a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, \ldots$ (assuming that terms follow the pattern of all but the first term) c) $0,0,0,0, a_{2}, a_{3}, \ldots$ (assuming that terms follow the pattern of all but the first four terms) d) $a_{2}, a_{3}, a_{4}, \ldots$ e) $a_{2}, 2 a_{2}, 3 a_{3}, 4 a_{4}, \ldots[\text { Hint: Calculus required here. }]$ f) $a_{0}^{2}, \quad 2 a_{0} a_{1}, \quad a_{1}^{2}+2 a_{0} a_{2}, \quad 2 a_{0} a_{3}+2 a_{1} a_{2}, \quad 2 a_{0} a_{4}+$ $\quad 2 a_{1} a_{3}+a_{2}^{2}, \ldots$
