TopicProof by induction

4 The function f is such that \(\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime \prime } ( x ) = \mathrm { f } ( x )\).
Prove by mathematical induction that, for every positive integer \(n\), $$\frac { d ^ { 2 n - 1 } } { d x ^ { 2 n - 1 } } ( x f ( x ) ) = x f ^ { \prime } ( x ) + ( 2 n - 1 ) f ( x )$$
