Usage INTEGER N
REAL X,Y
Y=FNQn(N,X)
Description
FNQn returns the value of the Legendre function of the second kind, degree zero, and order n of x, Qn(x). N must be positive or zero.
Errors
FNQn causes an HTBasic error if its arguments are not of the types listed in the usage section, above, if n is negative, or if the polynomial's absolute value would be larger than MAXREAL, the largest value representable.

Note
|
For n > 2, the algorithm used computes the value of Qn using a recursion from the values of Q1 and Q2. The computation time increases with n-1 and the computation accuracy decreases with n-1.
