First, we put the expression
into the form
. Now, using the binomial theorem we obtain

Likewise,
, so we just need to manipulate factorials to get the desired result:
![\begin{align}
\,[x_n]\,(1-4x)^{3/2} & = \frac{\tbinom{2n}{n}}{1-2n} - 4\frac{\tbinom{2n-2}{n-1}}{3-2n} \\
& = \frac{4n^2(2n-1)(2n-2)! - (2n-3)(2n)!}{(2n-1)(2n-3)n!^2} \\
& = \frac{4n^2(2n-1)(2n-2)(2n-4)! - (2n)!}{(2n-1)n!^2} \\
& = \frac{4n^2(2n-2)(2n-4)! - 2n(2n-2)!}{n!^2} \\
& = \frac{(2n-4)![4n^2(2n-2)-2n(2n-2)(2n-3)]}{n!n(n-1)(n-2)!}
\end{align}](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/en/math/b/4/0/b4055d76065ff68402844352c70c7c9d.png)
