Show that, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$, $\left\|T_n'\right\|_{L^\infty([-1,1])} = n^2$.
One may begin by establishing that, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and $\theta \in \mathbb{R}$, $|\sin(n\theta)| \leqslant n|\sin\theta|$.
The sequence of polynomials $\left(T_n\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is defined by $T_0 = 1, T_1 = X$ and $\forall n \in \mathbb{N}, T_{n+2} = 2X T_{n+1} - T_n$.
