We choose $I = [-1,1]$ and fix any very good extremal pair $(Q, R)$. We set $P = QR$. By considering the function: $$\begin{aligned} f : \mathbb{R} &\rightarrow \mathbb{R} \\ y &\mapsto P(\cos y), \end{aligned}$$ verify that for all $x \in [-1,1]$, $$P(x) = \|P\|_I \cos\left((n+m)\operatorname{Arccos} x\right).$$
