In the derivation of Riemann-Liouville derivatives, i got lost on the part when the pattern led to $$D^{-2}f(x)=\int_0^xf(t)(x-t)dt$$ $$D^{-3}f(x)=\frac{1}{2}\int_0^xf(t)(x-t)^2dt$$ $$D^{-4}f(x)=\frac{1}{2\cdot 3}\int_0^xf(t)(x-t)^3dt$$ $$\vdots$$ I was able to figure out everything except for the constants $\frac{1}{2}$, $\frac{1}{2\cdot 3}$. Where did they come from? Please please help me...
