Using (17.3) and (15.1) to (15.5), find the recursion relations for . In particular, show that .
Show that dl-m/dxl-m (x2-1)l=(l-m)!/(l+m)! (x2-1)m dl+m/dxl+m (x2-1)l.
Hint: Write(x2-1)l=(x-1)l(x+1)land find the derivatives by Leibniz' rule.
To study the approximations in the table, a computer plot on the same axes the given function together with its small x approximation and its asymptotic approximation. Use an interval large enough to show the asymptotic approximation agreeing with the function for large x. If the small x approximation is not clear, plot it alone with the function over a small interval
Verify the formula stated for and in terms of and and also find the value of the (x) and .
For Problems 1 to 4, find one (simple) solution of each differential equation by series, and then find the second solution by the "reduction of order" method, Chapter 8, Section 7 (e).
