Q3- Given these data x 1.6 2 2.5 3.2 4 4.5 f(x) 2 8 14 15 8 2 Calculate f(2.8) using Newton's 2nd-order interpolating polynomial. Choose the sequence of the points for your estimates to attain the best possible accuracy (i.e. order the points so that they are as close to and as centered about the unknown as possible). b) Under what circumstances you would use interpolation over regression for a given set of data? Explain.
