LAGRANGE’S INTERPOLATION:
1. Using Lagrange’s formula, find the interpolation polynomial that approximates to the
functions described by the following data
x 0 1 2 5
f(x) 2 3 12 147
2. Use Lagrange’s interpolation formula to find f(4) given
x 0 2 3 6
f(x) -4 2 14 158
3. The following table gives the normal weights of babies during first eight months of
life
Age(in months) 0 2 5 8
Weight(in pounds 6 10 12 16
Estimate the weight of the baby at the age of seven months using Lagrange’s
interpolation formula
4. Use Lagrange’s interpolation formula to fit a polynomial for the data.
x 0 1 3 4
y -12 0 6 12
Hence estimate y at x = 2
5. Use Lagrange’s interpolation formula to find y at x=10 given
x 5 6 9 11
y 12 13 14 16
6. If y(1)=3, y(3)=9, y(4)=30, y(6)=132, find Lagrange’s interpolation polynomial that
takes on these values.
7. Apply Lagrange’s formula inversely to find root of the equation 𝑓(𝑥 ) = 0 given that
𝑓 (30) = −30, 𝑓 (34) = −13, 𝑓 (38) = 3, 𝑓 (42) = 18.
8. Apply Lagrange’s formula inversely to find x when y=6 given the data
x 20 30 40
y 2 4.4 7.9
