A Legendre polynomial Pn(x) is an even or odd function, depending on whether n is even

Chapter 12, Problem 19

(choose chapter or problem)

A Legendre polynomial \(P_{n}(x)\) is an even or odd function, depending on whether n is even or odd. Show that if f is an even function on the interval (-1, 1), then (21) and (22) become, respectively,

\(\begin{gathered}

f(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} c_{2 n} P_{2 n}(x) \\

c_{2 n}=(4 n+1) \int_{0}^{1} f(x) P_{2 n}(x) d x .

\end{gathered}\)
