Step 1
In the context of a triangular element, a cubic interpolation function is a mathematical function that is used to approximate the values of a variable within the element based on the values at its vertices. To sketch the element, we can start by drawing a Show more…

1. Big Interpolation Problem [ 55 points]: Given the following data points x | 1.6 | 2 | 2.5 | 3.2 | 4 | 4.5 f(x) | 2 | 8 | 14 | 15 | 8 | 2 (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) Develop quadratic splines for the first five data points and predict f(2.8). Note: Use MATLAB to solve the linear system that arises from the analysis. (c) Develop cubic splines for the first five data points and predict f(2.8). Note: Here you are asked to solve the linear system by hand using the most efficient algorithm.
