Problem 7.14. Let (æ1,...,am+1) be a sequence of pairwise distinct scalars in R and let
(B1,...,Bm+1) be any sequence of scalars in R, not necessarily distinct.
(1) Prove that there is a unique polynomial P of degree at most m such that
P(a4) Bi, 1i <m+1.
Hint. Remember Vandermonde!
(2) Let Li(X) be the polynomial of degree m given by

Prove that
Bm+1 Lm+1(X)
Р(X) — BiL1(X) +
is the unique polynomial of degree at most m such that
P(a4) Bi, 1< i <m+1
(3) Prove that L1(X),..., Lm+1(X) are linearly independent, and that they form a basis
of all polynomials of degree at most m
How is 1 (the constant polynomial 1) expressed
