<s>[INST] New Idea to prove $1+2x+3x^2+\cdots=(1-x)^{-2}$ 
Given $|x|<1 $ prove that $\\1+2x+3x^2+4x^3+5x^4+...=\frac{1}{(1-x)^2}$.

1st Proof: Let $s$ be defined as
$$
s=1+2x+3x^2+4x^3+5x^4+\cdots
$$
Then we have
$$
\begin{align}
xs&=x+2x^2+3x^3+4x^4+5x^5+\cdots\\
s-xs&=1+(2x-x)+(3x^2-2x^2)+\cdots\\
s-xs&=1+x+x^2+x^3+\cdots\\
s-xs&=\frac{1}{1-x}\\
s(1-x)&=\frac{1}{1-x}\\
s&= \frac{1}{(1-x)^2}
\end{align}
$$
2nd proof:
$$
\begin{align}
s&=1+2x+3x^2+4x^3+5x^4+\cdots\\
&=\left(1+x+x^2+x^3+\cdots\right)'\\
&=\left(\frac{1}{1-x}\right)'\\
&=\frac{0-(-1)}{(1-x)^2}\\
&=\frac{1}{(1-x)^2}
\end{align}
$$
3rd Proof:
$$
\begin{align}
s=&1+2x+3x^2+4x^3+5x^4+\cdots\\
=&1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5+\cdots\\
&+0+x+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5+\cdots\\
&+0+0+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5+\cdots\\
&+0+0+0+x^3+x^4+x^5+\cdots\\
&+\cdots
\end{align}
$$
$$
\begin{align}
s&=\frac{1}{1-x}+\frac{x}{1-x}+\frac{x^2}{1-x}+\frac{x^3}{1-x}+\cdots\\
&=\frac{1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5+...}{1-x}\\
&=\frac{\frac{1}{1-x}}{1-x}\\
&=\frac{1}{(1-x)^2}
\end{align}
$$
These are my three proofs to date. I'm looking for more ways to prove the statement.
 [/INST] $${1\over(1-x)^2}={1\over 1-x}\cdot{1\over 1-x}=\sum_{j\geq0} x^j\cdot\sum_{k\geq0}x^k
=\sum_{r\geq0} x^r\left(\sum_{j+k=r}1\right)=\sum_{r\geq0}(r+1)x^r\ .$$
