Orthogonal polynomials, Legendre

For \( L_1(x) \) we have the general expression $$ \begin{equation*} L_1(x) = a+bx, \end{equation*} $$ and using the orthogonality relation $$ \begin{equation*} \int_{-1}^1L_0(x)L_1(x)dx=0, \end{equation*} $$ we obtain \( a=0 \) and with the condition \( L_1(1)=1 \), we obtain \( b=1 \), yielding $$ \begin{equation*} L_1(x) = x. \end{equation*} $$
