1. For the cubic Bezier curve P(u) [0 u 1] with the control


points shown,
draw the control polygon,
draw the convex hull,
draw a rough sketch of the curve,
calculate the values of the Bernstein polynomials (Bi,n) for u
= 0.2, and
use the Bernstein polynomials to calculate the position of the
curve point P (0.2).
