Problem 4: We define a sequence of polynomials (Tn(x))n=0 by T0(x)=1,T1(x)=x and Tn ...
Problem 4: We define a sequence of polynomials (Tn?(x))n=0?? by T0?(x)=1,T1?(x)=x and Tn?(x)=2xTn?1?(x)?Tn?2?(x),n?2. So T2?(x)=2x2?1,T3?(x)=4x3?3x, etc. Show that Tn?(cos(t))=cos(nt) for n?0. [HinT: The trigonometric formula cos(x)cos(y)=2cos(x+y)+cos(x?y)? may come in handy, with x and y equal to suitable multiples of t. We will consider it known, so you do not have to prove this formula before using it.]
