Let $\psi$ be the function from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ such that, for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$, $$\psi(x) = \begin{cases} \dfrac{x}{\mathrm{e}^{x} - 1} & \text{if } x \neq 0 \\ 1 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$ Let furthermore $u$ be the function from $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ such that, for all $(x,t) \in \mathbb{R}^{2}$, $$u(x,t) = \psi(x)\,\mathrm{e}^{tx}.$$ For all $(x,t) \in \mathbb{R}^{2}$, calculate $\dfrac{\partial u}{\partial t}(x,t)$ then show that, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}^{*}$, $$\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\frac{\partial^{n} u}{\partial x^{n}}(x,t) = x\frac{\partial^{n} u}{\partial x^{n}}(x,t) + n\frac{\partial^{n-1} u}{\partial x^{n-1}}(x,t).$$

Let furthermore $u$ be the function from $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ such that, for all $(x,t) \in \mathbb{R}^{2}$,
$$u(x,t) = \psi(x)\,\mathrm{e}^{tx}.$$
For all $(x,t) \in \mathbb{R}^{2}$, calculate $\dfrac{\partial u}{\partial t}(x,t)$ then show that, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}^{*}$,
$$\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\frac{\partial^{n} u}{\partial x^{n}}(x,t) = x\frac{\partial^{n} u}{\partial x^{n}}(x,t) + n\frac{\partial^{n-1} u}{\partial x^{n-1}}(x,t).$$
