S(x) = Σ_(n=1) ^∞ nx^n   Let f(x) = (1/(1−x)) = Σ_(n=0) ^∞ x^n   f′(x) = (1/((1−x)^2 )) = Σ_(n=1) ^∞ nx^(n−1)   xf′(x) = (x/((1−x)^2 )) = Σ_(n=1) ^∞ nx^n  = S(x)

$$\mathrm{S}\left({x}\right)\:=\:\underset{{n}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}{nx}^{{n}} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{Let}\:{f}\left({x}\right)\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−{x}}\:=\:\underset{{n}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}{x}^{{n}} \\ $$ $${f}'\left({x}\right)\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\left(\mathrm{1}−{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\:\underset{{n}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}{nx}^{{n}−\mathrm{1}} \\ $$ $${xf}'\left({x}\right)\:=\:\frac{{x}}{\left(\mathrm{1}−{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\:\underset{{n}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}{nx}^{{n}} \:=\:\mathrm{S}\left({x}\right) \\ $$

Σ_(n=1) ^∞ nx^n   =Σ_(n=1) ^∞ Σ_(k=1) ^n x^n   =Σ_(k=1) ^∞ Σ_(n=0) ^∞ x^(n+k)   =(Σ_(k=1) ^∞ x^k )(Σ_(n=0) ^∞ x^n )  =(x/((1−x)^2 ))

$$\underset{\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\mathrm{nx}^{\mathrm{n}} \\ $$ $$=\underset{\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\underset{\mathrm{k}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\mathrm{n}} {\sum}}\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{n}} \\ $$ $$=\underset{\mathrm{k}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\underset{\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{n}+\mathrm{k}} \\ $$ $$=\left(\underset{\mathrm{k}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{k}} \right)\left(\underset{\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{n}} \right) \\ $$ $$=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\left(\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$
