Given :-
If ƒ(x) is polynomial of degree 4 such that ƒ(1) = 1, ƒ(2) = 2, ƒ(3) = 3, ƒ(4) = 4 & ƒ(0) = 1
To Find :-
ƒ(5).
Solution :-
x = 1
x - 1 = 0
x = 2
x - 2 = 0
x = 3
x - 3 = 0
x = 4
x - 4 = 0
Now
When x = 0
f(0) = a × (0 - 1) × (0 - 2) × (0 - 3) × (0 - 4)
1 = a × -1 × -2 × -3 × -4
1 = 24a
1/24 = a
Now
By putting as 1/24
f(x) = 1/24 × (x - 1) × (x - 2) × (x - 3) × (x - 4) + x
Let x = 5
f(5) = 1/24 × (5 - 1) × (5 - 2) × (5 - 3) × (5 - 4) × 5
f(5) = 1/24 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 × 5
f(5) = 1/24 × 12 × 2 × 5
f(5) = 1/24 × 120
f(5) = 1 × 5
f(5) = 5
