When integration of this polynomial is minimum

73 Views Asked by At

For which $x_k$ $$\int_a^b \prod_{k=1 }^n(x-x_k)$$ is minimum?

It was given in my book that this is minimum at if we pick $x_j $ as roots of Chebyshev polynomials of second kind. But there is no proof. Would anyone suggest me where can I study these
