Let P(x) = Sigmak = 0nakxk and ||P||dsigma = (∫R|P(x)|2dsigma(x))1/2, where dsigma(x) is a nonnegative measure on R. Milovanovic determined best constants Cnk such that |ak|<=Cnk||P||dsigma, for k = 0,1,...n. In the present work, we will propose a new way of proving the above inequality, which will lead us to finding the optimal constant C, such that ||P||∞<=C||P|dsigma, where ||.||∞ denotes the uniform norm on [0,1].
