Let n≥1n\ge1 be a fixed integer. Calculate the distance $inf⁡p,fmax⁡0≤x≤\$\inf_{p,f} \max_{0\le x\le} 1} ∣f(x)−p(x)∣\big|f(x)-p(x)\big|,where, where p runs over polynomials of degree less than n with real coefficients and frunsoverfunctions runs over functions f(x) = ∑k=n∞\sum_{k=n}^\infty c_k x^kdefinedontheclosedinterval defined on the closed interval [0,1],where, where ck≥0c_k\ge0and and ∑k=n∞\sum_{k=n}^\infty c_k=1$.
