Explanation Given: x 3 + 2 x = a 0 P 0 + a 1 P 1 + a 2 P 2 + a 3 P 3 . Approach: The used theorem is as follows, Let f and f ′ be continuous on the interval ( − 1 , 1 ) . Then, for − 1 < x < 1 , f ( x ) = a 0 P 0 ( x ) + a 1 P 1 ( x ) + ... + a n P n ( x ) + ... = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n P n ( x ) . Here, a n = 2 n + 1 2 ∫ − 1 1 f ( x ) P n ( x ) d x . The first five Legendre polynomials are given in table below, N Legendre Polynomial of Degree N 0 P 0 ( x ) = 1 1 P 1 ( x ) = x 2 P 2 ( x ) = 1 2 ( 3 x 2 − 1 ) 3 P 3 ( x ) = 1 2 x ( 5 x 2 − 3 ) 4 P 4 ( x ) = 1 8 ( 35 x 4 − 30 x 2 + 3 ) Table ( 1 ) Calculation: Write the equation to find the value of a n . a n = 2 n + 1 2 ∫ − 1 1 f ( x ) P n ( x ) d x a n = 2 n + 1 2 ∫ − 1 1 ( x 3 + 2 x ) P n ( x ) d x ... ( 1 ) Substitute 0 for n and 1 for P 0 in equation to find the value of a 0 . a 0 = 2 ( 0 ) + 1 2 ∫ − 1 1 ( x 3 + 2 x ) P 0 ( x ) d x = 0 + 1 2 ∫ − 1 1 ( x 3 + 2 x ) ( 1 ) d x = 1 2 ∫ − 1 1 ( x 3 + 2 x ) d x = 0 Substitute 1 for n and x for P 1 in equation to find the value of a 1
