Homework Statement
Determine the relation that exists between the nth finite difference and the leading coefficient.
Homework Equations
... I'm not too sure how to html it up properly, but the numbers/"n"s following the "a"s are meant to be sub-script:
f(x) = anx^n + an-1x^n-1 + ... + a2x^2 + a1x + a0
The Attempt at a Solution
If someone could even tell me the proper direction for the line of thought here. All I can figure out thus far is that the difference is the same sign (positive or negative) of the coefficient. Any hints would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!
