Truncate the Chebyshev series at the full degree of precision of a quadrature rule:
Since on , the geometric series estimate gives
The same bound proves uniform convergence of the original Chebyshev series, so its sum and the tail estimate are justified. Gauss-Legendre quadrature is exact on . Its positive quadrature weights sum to , hence
Therefore one explicit choice proving exponential convergence of Gaussian quadrature is
Using exactness through polynomial degree doubles the exponent compared with truncating at polynomial degree .
