Using (5.3) with (3.4) and (4.1), find ,, andin terms of.
Assuming that x is real, show the following relation between the error function and the Fresnel integrals.
Without computer or tables, but just using facts you know, sketch a quick rough graph of the function from -2to 3. Hint:This is easy; don’t make a big job of it. From Section 3, you know the values of the data-custom-editor="chemistry" function at the positive integers in terms of factorials. From Problem 1, you can easily find and plot the function at , . (Approximateas a little less than 2.) From (4.1) and the discussion following it, you know that the function tends to plus or minus infinity at 0 and the negative integers, and you know the intervals where it is positive or negative. After sketching your graph, make a computer plot of the Γ function from -5to 5and compare your sketch.
