Q5P

We obtained (19.10) forJp(x),p≥0.It is, however, valid forp≥-1, that is forNp(x),0≤p<1. The difficulty in the proof occurs just after (19.7); we said that u,v,u',v'are finite at x=0which is not true forNp(x).

However, the negative powers of x cancel ifp<1. Show this for p=12by using two terms of the power series (12.9) or (13.1) for the function N1/2(x)=-J-1/2(x) [see (13.3)].
