Q1) Using the table given below find the polynomials by using divided difference formula and
the find values of f(4.5), f(8),f(11.4)?

X 4 5 7 10 11 12
f(x) 48 100 294 900 1210 2028

Note: Values are not equally spaced.

Q2) The following are data from steam table

Temperature °C 140 150 160 170 180

Pressure kgt/cm2 100 294 900 1210 2028

Using Newton’s formula, find pressure of the steam for a temperature of 142°C, 178°C.

Q3) Use Newton’s Interpolating polynomials of degree one, two and three to approximate
f(2.1), f(2.5), and f(2.7) if

Q4) Use Lagrange’s Interpolation formula and find g(1985) using table given below:
