iv
True. First choose polynomials Qn​→f uniformly by the Weierstrass approximation theorem. Let L1​,…,Lm​ be the Lagrange interpolation polynomials for the nodes x1​,…,xm​, so Lj​(xi​)=δij​. Set
Pn​(x)=Qn​(x)+∑j=1m​(f(xj​)−Qn​(xj​))Lj​(x).
(1)
Then Pn​(xj​)=f(xj​) for every j, while
∥Pn​−f∥∞​≤∥Qn​−f∥∞​(1+∑j=1m​∥Lj​∥∞​)⟶0.
