Orthogonality & Least Squares · Superchallenge problem

Apply Gram–Schmidt (without normalizing) to 1,x,x2,x31, x, x^2, x^3 in the space of polynomials with inner product ⟨f,g⟩=∫01f(x)g(x) dx\langle f, g\rangle = \displaystyle\int_0^1 f(x)g(x)\,dx. The fourth output is a monic cubic q3(x)q_3(x). Find its constant term q3(0)q_3(0).
