Let's look at series for 1/(1−x) and its derivatives:
1/(1−x) = ∑ x^n
1/(1−x)² = ∑ n x^(n−1)
2/(1−x)³ = ∑ (n−1)n x^(n−2)
f(x) = 2 ∑ x^n = 2/(1−x)
g(x) = ∑ n x^n = x/(1−x)²
f(x) g(x) = 2x/(1−x)³ = ∑ (n−1)n x^(n−1) = ∑ n(n+1) x^n

f(x)g(x) = 2∑(r=0,∞) x ͬ * ∑(s=0,∞) sxˢ = 2∑∑(r,s=0,∞) sx ͬ ⁺ˢ
Coefficient of xⁿ term is 2 x sum of all s for which r+s=n i.e 2(0+1+2+…+n) = n(n+1)
∴ f(x)g(x) = ∑(n=0,∞) n(n+1)xⁿ
