Hi,
I'm stuck on a problem from my quantum homework. I have to show <p1|p2> = ∫(from -1 to 1) dx (p1*)(p2)
is a scalar product (p1 and p2 are single variable complex polynomials). I've figured out how to show that they satisfy linearity and positive definiteness, but I'm completely stuck on showing that they have conjugate symmetry. Anyone know how to show this integral has conjugate symmetry? Thanks!
