Let $x , y \in C ^ { 1 } \left( \left[ 0 , + \infty \left[ ; \mathbb { R } ^ { n } \right) \right. \right.$. Prove that $$\forall t \in \left[ 0 , + \infty \left[ , \frac { d } { d t } ( \langle A x ; y \rangle ) ( t ) = \left\langle A x ^ { \prime } ( t ) ; y ( t ) \right\rangle + \left\langle A x ( t ) ; y ^ { \prime } ( t ) \right\rangle \right. \right.$$

We define the sequence of polynomials $\left(P_n\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ by: $$\left\{\begin{array}{l} P_0 = 1 \\ \forall n \in \mathbb{N}^*, \quad P_n = [X(X-1)]^n \end{array}\right.$$
We denote by $P_n^{(n)}$ the polynomial derived $n$ times of $P_n$.
Determine the degree of $P_n^{(n)}$ and calculate $P_n^{(n)}(1)$.
