Abstract: We can write the polynomial solution of the second order linear differential equation of hypergeometric-type ${\displaystyle }$ phi(x)y+psi(x)y'+lambda y=0, ${\displaystyle }$ where $phi$ and $psi$ are polynomials, $degphile2$, $degpsi=1$ and $lambda$ is a constant, among others, by using the Rodrigues operator $$ (see cite{coma2}) where $$ is certain linear operator which satisfies the distributional equation �egin{equation} label{1} frac{d}{dx}[phi {�f u}]=psi {�f u}, end{equation} as ${\displaystyle }$ P_n(x)=B_n R_n(phi,{�f u})[1], qquad B_n e 0,quad n=0, 1, 2, ... ${\displaystyle }$ Taking this into account we construct the complementary polynomials. Among the key results is a generating functional function in closed form leading to derivations of recursion relations and addition theorem. The complementary polynomials satisfy a hypergeometric-type differential equation themselves, have a three-term recursion among others and Rodrigues formulas.
