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 agrees with the function for large x. If the small x approximation is not clear, plot it alone with the function over a small interval
Find the best (in the least squares sense) second-degree polynomial approximation to each of the given functions over the interval -1<x<1.

To show that, .
Question:Use the Section 15 recursion relations and (17.4) to obtain the following recursion relations for spherical Bessel functions. We have written them for , but they are valid forand for the
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.
