Question

Given the data $$\begin{array}{l|cccccc} x & 1.6 & 2 & 2.5 & 3.2 & 4 & 4.5 \\ \hline f(x) & 2 & 8 & 14 & 15 & 8 & 2 \end{array}$$ (a) Calculate $f(2.8)$ using Newton's interpolating polynomials of order 1 through $3 .$ Choose the sequence of the points for your estimates to attain the best possible accuracy. (b) Utilize Eq. (18.18) to estimate the error for each prediction.

Step 1

We have: $$\begin{array}{c|cccccc} x & f(x) & f[x_i, x_{i+1}] & f[x_i, x_{i+1}, x_{i+2}] & f[x_i, x_{i+1}, x_{i+2}, x_{i+3}] \\ \hline 1.6 & 2 & & & \\ & & 3 & & \\ 2 & 8 & & -1 & \\ & & 2 & & 0.5 \\ 2.5 & 14 & & -1 & \\ & & 0.333 & & \\ 3.2 & Show more…
