For every integer $k \geqslant 2$, we set $\zeta(k) = \sum_{n=1}^{+\infty} n^{-k}$.
Let $h$ be the function from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ defined by $$\forall x \in \mathbb{R}, \quad h(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{x}{e^x - 1} & \text{if } x \neq 0 \\ 1 & \text{if } x = 0 \end{cases}$$
Show that the function $h$ is of class $C^\infty$ on $\mathbb{R}$ and that, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}^*$, we have $$h^{(2n)}(0) = \frac{(-1)^{n-1}(2n)!}{\pi^{2n} 2^{2n-1}} \zeta(2n).$$
