I am studying for an examination and this is a problem from a few years back:




What is the best approximation, in the inf-norm on the interval $[-1,1]$, of $cosh(x)$ by a quadratic polynomial?




Any tips or direction would be great!

    the inf norm is the max difference over the interval between the two functions. A.K.A. The infinity norm for functions.
