1. Determine the supremum and the infimum of (x− 1)x−1xx (x− (1/2))2x−1 for x > 1. 2. Let n and k be integers with n ≥ 0 and k ≥ 1. Let x0, x1, · · ·, xn be n+1 distinct points in R and let y0, y1, · · ·, yn be n + 1 real numbers (not necessarily distinct). Prove that there exists a polynomial p of degree at most n in the coordinates of x with respect to the standard basis for which p(xi) = yi ...
