To study the approximations in the table, 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
Find the best (in the least squares sense) second-degree polynomial approximation to each of the given functions over the interval -1<x<1.

Expand the following functions in Legendre series.
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.]
To show that, .
