For $n \in \mathbb{N}^*$, $T_n$ denotes the polynomial function satisfying $T_n(x) = 2^{1-n} F_n(x)$ where $F_n(x) = \cos(n \arccos x)$.
Let $n \in \mathbb{N}^*$. Show that the polynomial function $T_n$ has exactly $n$ distinct zeros all belonging to $]-1,1[$. For $j \in \{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$, we denote by $x_{n,j}$ the $j$-th zero of $T_n$ in increasing order. Give the value of $x_{n,j}$.
