Abstract: It is the aim of this article to give extremal majorants of type $ 2\pi\delta$ for the class of functions $ f_n(x)=$sgn$ (x)x^n$, where $ n\in\mathbb{N}$. As applications we obtain positive definite extensions to $ \mathbb{R}$ of $ \pm(it)^{-m}$ defined on $ \mathbb{R}\backslash[-1,1]$, where $ m\in\mathbb{N}$, optimal bounds in Hilbert-type inequalities for the class of functions $ (it)^{-m}$, and majorants of type $ 2\pi$ for functions whose graphs are trapezoids.
