Homework Statement
Show that if f is continuously differentiable on [a, b], then there is a sequence of
polynomials pn converging uniformly to f such that p'n converge uniformly to f' as
well.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Let pn(t) = cn t^n
Use uniform convergence and integrate from a to x to get:
[tex] f(x) - f(a) = \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \left[ \frac{c_n}{n+1} ( x^{n+1} - a^{n+1}) \right] [/tex]
Now what is next?? How do I show that f(a) converges to the right side of the limit? so that then i can conclude that f(x) = lim cn x^(n+1) / (n+1)
