Math Problem Statement
q_{0} = 1 , q_{1} = x , q_{2} = x ^ 2 - 1/3 where {q_{i}} is the set of orthogonal monomials in the interval [-1,1] with respect to the standard square norm of the differentiable func- tions. Compute q_{3} and then express x ^ 3 as a q_{0} to q_{3}
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to compute , the next orthogonal polynomial in the sequence, and then express as a linear combination of the polynomials .
Step 1: Orthogonality Condition
The polynomials are orthogonal with respect to the standard square norm on the interval , which means that for any two different polynomials and :
Step 2: Determine
Assume that has the general form of a cubic polynomial:
The orthogonality condition requires to be orthogonal to , , and .
Let's calculate the coefficients , , and by ensuring orthogonality with respect to , , and .
