Show explicitly (by calculation) that the = * is fulfilled for the expectation value of the momentum. b) The three expressions xp, px and (xp+px)/2 are equivalent in classical mechanics. Show that for corresponding quantum mechanical operators in the orders shown, that = * is fulfilled by one of these operators, but not by the other two.
