Answer

see the proof below.

Work Step by Step

Let $f(x)= x, g(x)=\frac{1}{2}(3x^2-1) $, $C[-1,1]$ \begin{aligned}\langle f,g\rangle &=\int_{-1}^{1}\frac{1}{2}(3x^3-x) d x\\ &=\left[\frac{1}{2}(\frac{3}{4}x^4-\frac{1}{2}x^2) \right]_{-1}^{1} \\ &=0 \end{aligned}. then $f$ and $g$ are orthogonal in the inner product space $C[-1,1]$.
