Trouble with changing indexing in summation












1












$begingroup$


I have trouble with the following: $$P(t) = sum_{i=0}^{n-r}c_i^r(tB^{n-r-1}_{i-1}(t)+(1-t)B_i^{n-r-1}(t))$$



$$= sum_{i=0}^{n-r-1}(tc^r_{i+1}+(1-t)c_i^r)B_i^{n-r-1}(t),$$ where $c_i$ are constants, and $B_i^n(t)$ are the Bernstein polynomials.



I am confused on how the to reach the second equality from the first one. It seems like just a matter of changing the indexing (reducing the sum index from (n-r) to n-(r+1), but I can't decipher how exactly.
