(a) If f:(0,1)Rf:(0,1) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} is continuous, prove that there exists a sequence of polynomials PnP_{n} such that PnfP_{n} \rightarrow f uniformly on compact subsets of (0,1)(0,1).

(b) If f:(0,1)Rf:(0,1) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} is continuous and bounded, prove that there exists a sequence of polynomials QnQ_{n} such that QnQ_{n} are uniformly bounded on (0,1)(0,1) and QnfQ_{n} \rightarrow f uniformly on compact subsets of (0,1)(0,1).
