We obtained (19.10) forIt is, however, valid for, that is for. The difficulty in the proof occurs just after (19.7); we said that are finite at which is not true for.
However, the negative powers of x cancel if. Show this for by using two terms of the power series (12.9) or (13.1) for the function [see (13.3)].
Determine the raising and lowering operators for the spherical Bessel functions

Find the norm of each of the following functions on the given interval and state the normalized function
Prove the least squares approximation property of Legendre polynomials [see (9.5) and (9.6)] as follows. Let f(x) be the given function to be approximated. Let the functions pl(x)be the normalized Legendre polynomials, that is, pl(x) = √(2l+1)/2 Pl(x) , so that
∫-11[pl(x)"]"2dx=1.
Show thatLegendre series for f(x)as far as the p2(x)term is
f(x)=c0p0(x)+c1p1(x) +c3p3(x) with c1 =∫-11f(x)pl(x) dx
Write the quadratic polynomial satisfying the least squares condition as b0p0(x)+b1p1(x)+b0p0(x)by Problem 5.14 any quadratic polynomial can be written in this form). The problem is to find b0, b1, b2so that I=∫-11[f2(x)+(b0-c0)2+(b1-c1)2+(b2-c2)2 -c02 -c12 -c22] dx
Now determine the values of the b's to make I as small as possible. (Hint: The smallest value the square of a real number can have is zero.) Generalize the proof to polynomials of degree n.
Expand the following functions in Legendre series.
f(x) = P'n (x).
Hint: For I≥ n, ∫-11 P'n(x)Pl(x) dx=0 (Why?); for l<n, integrate by parts.
