-With the polynomial $q(n) := n+1$, this means $c_n = \frac{1}{\prod_{k=1}^n q(k)} c_0 = \dfrac{1}{n!}$ and hence $f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \dfrac{1}{n!} x^n$.+With the polynomial $q(n) := n+1$, this means $c_n = \frac{1}{\prod_{k=0}^{n-1} q(k)} c_0 = \dfrac{1}{n!}$ and hence $f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \dfrac{1}{n!} x^n$.
