Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Most functions cannot be evaluated exactly:
√
x, ex
, ln x, trigonometric functions
since by using a computer we are limited to the use of elementary
arithmetic operations
+, −, ×, ÷
With these operations we can only evaluate polynomials and rational
functions (polynomial divided by polynomials).

Interpolation
Given points
x0, x1, . . . , xn
and corresponding values
y0, y1, . . . , yn
find a function f(x) such that
f(xi) = yi
, i = 0, . . . , n.
The interpolation function f is usually taken from a restricted class of
functions: polynomials.

Linear interpolation
Given two sets of points (x0, y0) and (x1, y1) with x0 6= x1, draw a line
through them, i.e., the graph of the linear polynomial
x0 x1
y0 y1
`(x) = x − x1
x0 − x1
y0 +
x − x0
x1 − x0
y1
`(x) = (x1 − x)y0 + (x − x0)y1
x1 − x0
(5.1)
We say that `(x) interpolates the value yi at the point xi
, i = 0, 1, or
`(xi) = yi
, i = 0, 1

Assume three data points (x0, y0),(x1, y1),(x2, y2), with x0, x1, x2 distinct.
We construct the quadratic polynomial passing through these points using
Lagrange’s folmula
P2(x) = y0L0(x) + y1L1(x) + y2L2(x) (5.4)
with Lagrange interpolation basis functions for quadratic interpolating
polynomial
L0(x) = (x−x1)(x−x2)
(x0−x1)(x0−x2)
L1(x) = (x−x0)(x−x2)
(x1−x0)(x1−x2)
L2(x) = (x−x0)(x−x1)
(x2−x0)(x2−x1)

Each Li(x) has degree 2 ⇒ P2(x) has degree ≤ 2. Moreover
Li(xj ) = 0, j 6= i
Li(xi) = 1 for 0 ≤ i, j ≤ 2 i.e., Li(xj ) = δi,j =

With linear interpolation: obvious that there is only one straight line
passing through two given data points.
With three data points: only one quadratic interpolating polynomial
whose graph passes through the points.
Indeed: assume ∃Q2(x), deg(Q2) ≤ 2 passing through
(xi
, yi), i = 0, 1, 2, then it is equal to P2(x). The polynomial
R(x) = P2(x) − Q2(x)
has deg(R) ≤ 2 and
R(xi) = P2(xi) − Q2(xi) = yi − yi = 0, for i = 0, 1, 2
So R(x) is a polynomial of degree ≤ 2 with three roots ⇒ R(x) ≡ 0
