$p(x) = \sum_{i=0}^n a_i x^i, a_n \neq 0$

$p(x) = a_n x^n + \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} a_i x^i$

$p(x-1) = a_n (x-1)^n + \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} a_i (x-1)^i$

$(x-1)^n = \sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k} x^{n-k} (-1)^k$

$p(x-1) = a_n \sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k} x^{n-k} (-1)^k + \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} a_i (x-1)^i$

$p(x-1) = a_n x^n + a_n \sum_{k=1}^n {n \choose k} x^{n-k} (-1)^k + \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} a_i (x-1)^i$
