  • Session A

Let f(x)=a1sin⁡x+a2sin⁡2x+⋯+ansin⁡nxf(x)= a_1 \sin x + a_2 \sin 2x+\cdots +a_{n} \sin nx , where a1,a2,…,ana_1 ,a_2 ,\ldots,a_n are real numbers and where nn is a positive integer. Given that ∣f(x)∣≤∣sin⁡x∣|f(x)| \leq | \sin x | for all real x,x, prove that ∣a1+2a2+⋯+nan∣≤1.|a_1 +2a_2 +\cdots +na_{n}|\leq 1.
