It can be shown that \(J_{0}\) has infinitely many zeros for \(x>0 .\) In
particular, the first three zeros are approximately \(2.405,5.520, \text { and
} 8.653 \text { (see figure } 5.8 .1) .\) Let \(\lambda_{j}, j=1,2,3, \ldots,\)
denote the zeros of \(J_{0}\) it follows that
$$
J_{0}\left(\lambda_{j} x\right)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll}{1,} & {x=0} \\ {0,}
& {x=1}\end{array}\right.
$$
Verify that \(y=J_{0}(\lambda, x)\) satisfies the differential equation
$$
y^{\prime \prime}+\frac{1}{x} y^{\prime}+\lambda_{j}^{2} y=0, \quad x>0
$$
Ilence show that
$$
\int_{0}^{1} x J_{0}\left(\lambda_{i} x\right) J_{0}\left(\lambda_{j} x\right)
d x=0 \quad \text { if } \quad \lambda_{i} \neq \lambda_{j}
$$
This important property of \(J_{0}\left(\lambda_{i} x\right),\) known as the
orthogonality property, is useful in solving boundary value problems. Hint:
Write the differential equation for \(J_{0}(\lambda, x)\). Multiply it by \(x
J_{0}\left(\lambda_{y} x\right)\) and subtract it from \(x
J_{0}\left(\lambda_{t} x\right)\) times the differential equation for
\(J_{0}(\lambda, x)\). Then integrate from 0 to \(1 .\)
