Write (10.7) with m replaced by -m; then use Problem 7 to show that Pl-m(x) = (-1)m (l-m)!/(l+m)! Plm(x).
Comment: This shows that (10.7) is a solution of (10.1) when m is negative.

The solution of problem as spherical Bessel function using definition of and in terms of and . Also obtain solutions in terms of and . Compare the answers.
Use the recursion relation (5.8a) and the values of and to find localid="1664340078504" , and . [After you have found , use it to find and so on for the higher order polynomials.]
