The problem is finding orthonormal basis for W=span{u1=x,u2=x^2}
And as lots of people think, it is not very difficult problem
My answer is
${ \sqrt{3}x,\sqrt{80}(x^2-\frac{3}{4}x) }$
But, textbook says
$ \sqrt{3}x,\sqrt{30}(x^2-\frac{1}{2}x)$
I checked another edition of the textbook but it was same.
I use elementary linear algebra by koleman
Is there any error I have made? Because of this problem I can’t believe my answer for similar problems.
The book's answer isn't orthogonal: $(x,x^2-\frac12x)=\int_0^1x(x^2-\frac12x)\operatorname dx=[x^4/4-x^3/6]_0^1\neq0$.
Yours, on the other hand, appears to be correct.
