Hey
This is from Numerical analysis course (Legendre polynom) - they gave us the polynomial transformation from [-1,1] to [a,b] as: x = 2/(b-a) * z - (b+a)/(b-a)
what is the proof of this tranformation? where did it come from?
thanks

I need a clear way to prove it - to understand the contradiction.
The Attempt at a Solution
I've assumed there is a M<3/4 that x^2 +x + 1>M. where is the contradiction?

I need a direction for this proof.
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried by the info: -ε+a<x<ε+a and -ε+b<y<ε+b to ,multiply these inequalities, but it's not true. and i tried with the...
