(a) State the Weierstrass approximation theorem concerning continuous real functions on the closed interval .
(b) Let be continuous.
(i) If for each , prove that is the zero function.
(ii) If we only assume that for each , prove that it still follows that is the zero function.
[If you use the Stone-Weierstrass theorem, you must prove it.]
(iii) If we only assume that for each , does it still follow that is the zero function? Justify your answer.
