1. Make these three equations orthonormal to each other in the interval 1 less than or equal to x greater than or equal to 1 (this may be a typo as I think it should read 1 less than or equal to x less than or equal to one) by determining the appropriate values for the coefficients a b c d e f.
1) a
2) b+c*x
3) d+e*x+f*x^2
Definition of orthonormality is all we are given.
I think I understand how orthonormality works with vectors but this equation thing is throwing me off. Perhaps if someone could start by getting my on the right track then I can complete it (as it is a homework problem). Thanks!
