Problem Statement

6. Let f(x)f(x) be an arbitrary function, differentiable infinitely many times. Then the nnth derivative of f(ex)f(e^{x}) has the form
dndxnf(ex)=k=0naknekxf(k)(ex)\frac{d^{n}}{dx^{n}}f(e^{x})= \sum_{k=0}^{n} a_{kn}e^{kx}f^{(k)}(e^{x}) (n=0,1,2,n=0,1,2,\dots).
From the coefficients akna_{kn} compose the sequence of polynomials
Pn(x)=k=0naknxkP_{n}(x)= \sum_{k=0}^{n} a_{kn}x^{k} (n=0,1,2,n=0,1,2,\dots)
and find a closed form for the function
F(t,x)=n=0Pn(x)n!tn.F(t,x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{P_{n}(x)}{n!}t^{n}.
