Question: Equip the real vector space \(V=\mathbb{R}[x]\) ( polynomials with real coefficients) with the inner product

\[\langle f, g\rangle=\int_{-1}^{1} f(x) g(x)(1-x) d x, \quad \text { for all } f, g \in V\]

Let

\[p_{0}(x)=1, \quad p_{1}(x)=3 x+1, \quad p_{2}=5 x^{2}+2 x-1\]
  1. Show that the three polynomials \(p_{0}, p_{1}, p_{2}\) are mutually orthogonal in \(V\).
  2. Show that the three polynomials \(p_{0}, p_{1}, p_{2}\) span the subspace \(\{f \in V: \operatorname{deg}(f) \leq 2\}\).
  3. Let \(g(x)=x^{3}\). Calculate

    \[\frac{\left\langle g, p_{0}\right\rangle}{\left\langle p_{0}, p_{0}\right\rangle} p_{0}(x)+\frac{\left\langle g, p_{1}\right\rangle}{\left\langle p_{1}, p_{1}\right\rangle} p_{1}(x)+\frac{\left\langle g, p_{2}\right\rangle}{\left\langle p_{2}, p_{2}\right\rangle} p_{2}(x)\]
  4. Find a polynomial of degree three which is orthogonal to the three polynomials \(p_{0}, p_{1}, p_{2}\).
