If we multiply the Legendre polynomial of degree n by an appropriate scalar, we can obtain a polynomial L,(x) such that L,(1) = 1.
(a) Find Lo(x), L₂(x), L₂(x), and L₂(x).
Lo(x)=
4₂(x)=
Ly(x) =
(b) It can be shown that L,(x) satisfies the recurrence relation
Ln(x) = 2n-1x₂-1(x)=Ln-2(x)
n
for all n 2 2. Verify this recurrence for L₂(x) and L3(x). Then use it to compute L4(x) and Lg(x).
