Show that for the Hamiltonian H = −(h̄²/2m)∇² + U(r(vector)), an equivalent way of writing (1.9.9) is

where E_n(0) is the unperturbed atomic orbital energy and U₀(r(vector)) is the potential energy function of a single atom. In other words, the band energy depends on the difference of the periodic potential and the single-atom potential.
