Problem: A mathematical moron is given the values b; c; A for a triangle ABC and is required to find a. He does this by using the cosine rule $ a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bccosA$ and misapplying the low of the logarithm to this to get $ log a^2 = log b^2 + log c^2 - log(2bc cos A) $ He proceeds to evaluate the right-hand side correctly, takes the anti-logarithms and gets the correct answer. What can be said about the triangle ABC?

Let $\alpha$ be an arbitrary angle and let $x = cos\alpha, y = cosn\alpha$ ($n \in Z$). i) Prove that to each value $x \in [-1, 1]$ corresponds one and only one value of $y$. Thus we can write $y$ as a function of $x, y = T_n(x)$. Compute $T_1(x), T_2(x)$ and prove that $T_{n+1}(x) = 2xT_n(x) - T_{n-1}(x)$. From this it follows that $T_n(x)$ is a polynomial of degree $n$. ii) Prove that the polynomial $T_n(x$) has $n$ distinct roots in $[-1, 1]$.
