Let n1n\ge1 be a fixed integer. Calculate the distance $infp,fmax0x\$\inf_{p,f} \max_{0\le x\le} 1} f(x)p(x)\big|f(x)-p(x)\big|,where, where p runs over polynomials of degree less than n with real coefficients and frunsoverfunctions runs over functions f(x) = k=n\sum_{k=n}^\infty c_k x^kdefinedontheclosedinterval defined on the closed interval [0,1],where, where ck0c_k\ge0and and k=n\sum_{k=n}^\infty c_k=1$.
