I'm trying to figure out if a generating function exists for the equation (x + n)! / x!. Like, a way to convert it into polynomial form for any n. Not really urgent, but it would be pretty convenient if anyone has any leads.

specifically i want way to convert it into the form $a + a_1 x + a_2 x^2 + ... + a_n x^n$

i could multiply the (x+1)(x+2)...(x+n) out manually, but it really is just about the convenience

looked around on the internet a little and it looks like there is a formula for the coefficients involving stirling numbers of the first kind
