Step 1 For any fixed , pick n sufficient large so that . Now define the polynomial,
Note that p(x) satisfies the points , , , , which implies that p(x) has a vertex at (the absolute maximum of p), and that p(x) is increasing from (moreover, p(x) has positive derivative and is in fact concave down on that same region); additionally we see that for . Thus 1 for . Additionally, we clearly see that . So for any we have
