1. Construct the divided difference table for the following data set, and then write out the Newton form of
the interpolating polynomial.

x -7 -5 -4 -1
y 10 5 2 10

2. Let g(x) = f [x0 , x1 , ....xn , x], then show that g 00 (x) = 2!f [x0 , x1 , .....xn , x, x, x].

3. Let f (x) = 3x4 − 4x3 + 3x − 2. Then, find f [−3, −2, 0, 4, 5].

4. Suppose a table is to be prepared for the function f (x) = ex , ∀x ∈ [0, 1]. Assume that the difference
between adjacent x-values, the step size, is h. What should be h for linear interpolation to give an absolute
error of at most 10−6 .

5. Construct the forward difference table for the following data and then estimate f (−0.5)

x -1 0 -1 2
y 3 -1 -3 1

6. Construct the backward difference table for the given data in Q.7 and then estimate f (1.8) and f (2.2).

7. Let P 3(x) = x3 + x2 + x + 1interpolates f (x) at -3,-1,0, 2. Prepare the table of divided differences.Now
f (3) = −32 is added to the data, find P4 (x) a polynomial of degree 4, which interpolates f (x) at -3,-1,0,2,3
by adding a term to P3 (x). Hence interpolate f (1).

8. Using Newtons forward difference formula, find the sum Sn = 13 + 23 + ..... + n3 .
