+
+The generating function for $x_1$ is $1 \over 1-x$ because it is possible for all $n$. For $x_2$, $x^2 \over 1-x$ because there is no way of satisfying the restriction for $n<2$. For $x_3$, $1 \over 1-x^4$ as it is impossible for $n \not\equiv 0 ({\rm mod} 4)$ and $1+x+x^2+x^3$ for $x_4$ (because it cannot be all of the partition for $n$ more than $4$). One must also consider a fictional $x_5$ to account for the solutions which sum to less than $n$. This has the generating function $1 \over 1-x$. The combined possible number of solutions $c_n$ is the value of the coefficient for $x^n$ in their product. The product is $$x^2(1+x+x^2+x^3) \over (1-x)^3(1-x^4),$$ but by the fact that $$1+x+x^2+x^3={1-x^4 \over 1-x},$$ this is equal to $$x^2 \over (1-x)^4.$$
+
+This, in closed form, becomes $${x^2 \over 6}\sum^\infty_{n=0} n(n-1)(n-2)x^{n-2}
+= \sum^\infty_{n=0} {n(n-1)(n-2) \over 6}x^n
+= \sum^\infty_{n=0} {n \choose 3}x^{n-1}
+= \sum^\infty_{n=-1} {n+1 \choose 3}x^n,$$
+giving a number of solutions $n+1 \choose 3$
+

+\noindent {\bf Q3)} %#9
+
+$$\sum^\infty_{n=0} {n \choose p}x^n$$
+
+Note: in this problem and Q2, I used 0 and infinity as my bounds (mostly) because ${k \choose n}=0$ for $k<0$ and $k>n$.

+\pre{b.}
+$$x^2e^{3x}
+= x^2\sum^\infty_{n=0} {(3x)^n \over n!}
+= x^2\sum^\infty_{n=0} {3^n x^n \over n!}
+= \sum^\infty_{n=0} {3^n x^{n+2} \over n!}
+= \sum^\infty_{n=2} {3^{n-2} x^n \over {n-2}!}
+= \sum^\infty_{n=2} {3^{n-2} x^n \over {n-2}!}
+= \sum^\infty_{n=2} {3^{n-2}(n)(n-1) x^n \over n!}.$$
+
+This shows $a_n = n(n-1)3^n$.
