Interchange of differentiation and summation
$begingroup$
I came across an example about interchange of differentiation and summation. Can anyone show me how to prove the equation in the picture? Thank you!

Just differentiation: $-frac{partial}{partialtheta}(1-theta)^x=x(1-theta)^{x-1}$

You do not interchange differentiation and summation. Obviuosly $sum_{x=0}^n theta x (1 - theta)^{x-1} = theta sum_{x=0}^n x (1 - theta)^{x-1}$. In the second step you use that $x (1 - theta)^{x-1} = -frac{partial}{partial theta} (1 - theta)^x$ for each summand.
