$P_{n}(x)$ represents the nth degree polynomial in $x$ defined as $P_{n}(x)=\frac{1}{2^{n} n !} \frac{d^{n}}{d x^{n}}\left(x^{2}-1\right)^{n}$. Find $P_{0}(x), P_{1}(x), P_{2}(x)$ and $\mathrm{P}_{5}(\mathrm{x})$ and verify that $\left(1-\mathrm{x}^{2}\right) \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{n}}^{\prime \prime}(\mathrm{x})-2 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{n}}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})+\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+1) \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{a}}(\mathrm{x})=0$ where $\mathrm{n}=0,1,2,3 .$
