Calculate the expectation value of x in eigenstate. Solution: We can compute the expectation value of x simply. Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle |\Psi_n\}

We should have seen that coming. Since each term in the operator changes the eigenstate, the dot product with the original (orthogonal) state must give zero
