quadrature rule has the highest possible order

Find the weights $w_0, w_1$ and the abscissa $x_0$ such that the following quadrature rule has the highest possible order: $$int_0^1 f(x) dx approx w_0f(x_0) + w_1 f(1)$$




Do I need to use the formula,
$$w_j = frac{2}{(1-x_j^2)
(P'_n(x_j))^2}$$



If so how do I use it? what is $x_j$ and $P'_n$?

          The abscissas $(x_j)$ are the zeros of the $n$th orthogonal polynomial; here $n=2$ and $P_2$ is the second Legendre polynomial (only the domain of definition has been altered from $[-1,1]$ to $[0,1]$ so you need to change variable. Read about Gaussian quadratures.
