Let 
be orthogonal polynomials associated with
the distribution 
on the interval ![[a,b]](/images/equations/ChristoffelFormula/Inline3.svg)
.
Also let
 |
(for 
)
be a polynomial of order 
which is nonnegative in this
interval. Then the orthogonal polynomials 
associated with the distribution 
can be represented in terms of the polynomials
as

In the case of a zero 
of multiplicity 
, we replace the corresponding rows by the derivatives
of order 0, 1, 2, ..., 
of the polynomials 
, ...,
