Question

As in Problem 1, study the K_p (X) functions. It is interesting to note (see Problem $17.4) that K_1/2(X) is equal to the asymptotic approximation.

Short answer

The answer is given below.

Step-by-step solution

The concept of Wolfram Mathematica built-in functions 

The Wolfram Mathematica built-in functions are used because they are very convenient. The Mathematica function Bessel J[p,x] returns the values of J_p(X).

 Step 2: Use the wolfram Mathematica built-in function to plot the graphs

The approximate value for large X is, $K_p\left(X\right)=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2X}}{e}^{-X}+O\left(\frac{e^{-X}}{X}\right)$.

The plot of function K_p (x) together with its asymptotic approximate can be drawn as:

For p=1/2:

K_p (x) =K_1/2 (x)
