Given $f_1(x)=1\\ f_2(x)=x\\ f_3(x)=\frac{1}{2}(3x^2-1)$ Obtain: $=\int ^1_{-1}f_1(x)f_2(x)f_3(x)dx\\ =\int^1_{-1} x dx\\ =\frac{x^2}{2}|^1_{-1}\\ =\frac{1 }{2}-\frac{(-1)^2}{2}\\ =0$ $=\int ^1_{-1}f_1(x)f_3(x)dx\\ =\int^1_{-1} \frac{1}{2}(3x^2-1)dx\\ =(\frac{1}{2}(x^3-x))|^1_{-1}\\ =[\frac{1}{2}(1^3-1)]-[\frac{1}{2}(-1)^3-(-1)]\\ =0$ $=\int ^1_{-1}f_2(x)f_3(x)dx\\ =\int^1_{-1} \frac{1}{2}(3x^3-x) dx\\ =[\frac{1}{2}(\frac{3x^4}{4}-\frac{x^2}{2})]|^1_{-1}\\ =[\frac{1}{2}(\frac{3.1^4}{4}-\frac{1^2}{2})]-[\frac{1}{2}(\frac{3.(-1)^4}{4}-\frac{(-1)^2}{2})]\\ =0$ We have: $||f_1||=\sqrt \\ =\sqrt \int^1_{-1}f_1(x)f_1(x)dx\\ =\sqrt \int^1_{-1}1dx\\ =\sqrt x|^1_{-1}\\ =\sqrt 1-(-1)\\ =\sqrt 2$ $||f_2||=\sqrt \\ =\sqrt \int^1_{-1}f_2(x)f_2(x)dx\\ =\sqrt \int^1_{-1} x^2 dx\\ =\sqrt \int^1_{-1}\frac{x^3}{3}dx|^1_{-1}\\ =\sqrt (\frac{1^3}{3}-\frac{(-1)^3}{3})\\ =\sqrt \frac{1}{3}-(-\frac{1}{3})\\ =\sqrt \frac{2}{3}\\ =\frac {\sqrt 6}{3}$ $||f_3||=\sqrt \\ =\sqrt \int^1_{-1}f_3(x)f_3(x)dx\\ =\sqrt \int^1_{-1} \frac{1}{4}(3x^2-1)^2)dx\\ =\sqrt \frac{1}{4}(9x^4-6x^2+1)dx\\ =\sqrt [\frac{1}{4}(\frac{9x^5}{5}-2x^3+x)]|^1_{-1}\\ =\sqrt [\frac{1}{4}(\frac{9.1^5}{5}-2.1^3+1)]-[\frac{1}{4}(\frac{9.(-1)^5}{5}-2.(-1)^3+(-1)]\\ =\sqrt [\frac{1}{4}(\frac{9}{5}-2+1)-\frac{1}{4}(\frac{-9}{5}+2-1)]\\ =\sqrt \frac{2}{5}\\ =\frac{\sqrt 10}{5}$
