Solving the above linear system of equations with an appropriate numerical method:

C1= 12.2; C2= -1.85; C3= 0.183

Therefore, the quadratic equation which fits the given data:

Question 3

Lagrange third-order function approximation:

x 8 9 9.5 11
f(x) 2.0794 2.1972 2.2512 2.3978

(9.2 − 9)(9.2 − 9.5)(9.2 − 11) (9.2 − 8)(9.2 − 9.5)(9.2 − 11)


f(9.2) = (8) + (9)
(8 − 9)(8 − 9.5)(8 − 11) (9 − 8)(9 − 9.5)(9 − 11)
(9.2 − 8)(9.2 − 9)(9.2 − 11) (9.2 − 8)(9.2 − 9)(9.2 − 9.5)
+ (9.5) + (11)
(9.5 − 8)(9.5 − 9)(9.5 − 11) (11 − 8)(11 − 9)(11 − 9.5)

f(9.2) =2.2192

Question 4
