(k = 0,1,2,... , n) is given for x # zk for any k by
P(X) = www
where
N(x) = g[(-l)kyk sin uk/(X - xk)]
k=O
and
D(x) = &(-I)’ sin uk/(x - xk)].

228 7. Approximations and Inequalities
- 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.
- 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)]
