Solution Practice 4 - ENG2314

This document contains solutions to problems involving interpolation techniques in engineering. It discusses: 1) Using linear interpolation to estimate values within intervals and how accuracy improves with smaller intervals. 2) Applying linear and quadratic interpolation formulas to estimate values using data points. 3) Performing linear regression to find the equation for a line of best fit through data points. 4) Applying first and second order Lagrange interpolation to estimate values. 5) Calculating linear and quadratic interpolations to estimate a temperature value.

Solution Practice 4

Q1

x=1;
x0=0;
x1=5;

%when x=1
%using the interval between 0 and 5, i.e., x1=1; x2=5;

fx0=1-exp(-x0);
fx1=1-exp(-x1);
f1=fx0+(((fx1-fx0)/(x1-x0))*(x-x0))
true_value=1-exp(-x)

within the interval 0 and 5 f1 = 0.1987


within the interval 0 and 4 f1 = 0.2454
within the interval 0 and 3 f1 = 0.3167
within the interval 0 and 2 f1 = 0.4323
True Value = 0.6321
From the above calculation, if we reduce the interval, we can get the solution which is close to
the true value. It means that the error is reducing.

b0=fx0;
b1=(fx1-fx0)/(x1-x0);
b2=(((fx2-fx1)/(x2-x1))-((fx1-fx0)/(x1-x0)))/(x2-x0);
