Abstract
A proof of the orthogonality relation for the Askey-Wilson polynomials is given by using a generating function for the Askey-Wilson polynomials and the uniqueness of a rational function expansion. We further use the orthogonality relation for the Askey-Wilson polynomials and a q-series transformation formula to evaluate a general q-beta integral with eight parameters. The integrand of this q-beta integral is the product of two terminating 5φ4 series and the value is a 10φ9 series.
