Input
Enter number of data points: 4
Enter x values:
1 2 3 4
Enter corresponding y values:
1 8 27 64
Enter value of x to find f(x): 2.5
Choose Method:
1. Lagrange Interpolation
2. Newton Forward Interpolation
Enter choice: 1
Output
f(2.5) = 15.625
Problem Setup
Given a set of data points (xi,yi), estimate f(x) for a given value of .
Important
-
Lagrange Interpolation
-
No difference table required
-
Works for unequal intervals
-
-
Newton Forward Interpolation
-
Requires equal intervals
-
Uses forward difference table
-
-
Both methods estimate f(x) from tabulated data
