  1. Determine all pairs (p, q) of real numbers for which the inequality


IA/i?- PX - Q ) I (1/2)(Jz - 1)

is true for each x for which 0 < x 5 1.


  1. Prove that the polynomial p with degree not exceeding n that assumes
    the value yk at the values


xk = COS t‘k where uk = [(2k + l)?r/(2n + 2)]
