Graphical Representation of Hahn Polynomials

Definition

The Hahn polynomials are defined as

\[ \begin{align} Q_n(x;\alpha,\beta,N) &= \sum_{k=0}^n \frac{(-n)_k (n+\alpha+\beta+1)_k (-x)_k}{(\alpha+1)_k (-N)_k k!}\\ &= {}_3F_2 \left(\left. {-n, n+\alpha+\beta+1, -x \atop \alpha+1, -N} \; \right| 1 \right) \end{align} \]

Plot

Note: You can choose a selection on the small graph in order to zoom. Mark the check boxes on the left side for which n you want to plot the graph.
