I must prove that $\int_{-1}^1 (1-2xt+t^2)^{-1/2}P_n(x)dx=\frac{2t^n}{2n+1}$.
I know that the generating function is $(1-2xt+t^2)^{-1/2}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty P_n(x)t^n$. I also know that the orthogonality property when l=m gives $\frac{2}{2n+1}$.
I get to where I have $\sum_{n=0}^\infty t^n(\frac{2}{2n+1})$.
Any ideas on how to get the correct answer or where I may be going wrong?
