State and prove the Stone-Weierstrass theorem for real-valued functions. You may assume that the function can be uniformly approximated by polynomials on any interval .
Suppose that . Let be the set of functions which can be uniformly approximated on by polynomials with integer coefficients. By making appropriate use of the identity
or otherwise, show that .
Is it true that every continuous function on can be uniformly approximated by polynomials with integer coefficients?
