Scalar Product

![{\displaystyle <f,g>=\int _{-1}^{1}[{\frac {1}{2}}(3x^{2}-1)][{\frac {1}{2}}(5x^{3}-3x)]\ dx\!}](../../../dfc6e327a734ba8f03bbf1230e50e5e98223f28f.svg)


![{\displaystyle ={\frac {1}{4}}[({\frac {15}{6}}1^{6}-1^{4}+{\frac {3}{2}}1^{2})-({\frac {15}{6}}(-1)^{6}-(-1)^{4}+{\frac {3}{2}}(-1)^{2})]\!}](../../../53cff8357d3b5f93f2fbaae853728c278b35d84e.svg)
Since all exponents are even, everything in brackets cancels out

Angle Between Functions

Since
the two functions are orthogonal
