  1. My sister Julie planted a tomato plant and she measured and kept track of its growth every other day. Julie is a curious person, and she would like to estimate how tall her plant was on the fourth day, do so by using LaGrange method for Linear Interpolation.

Her table of observations looked like this:

For this first order polynomial we chose the height given by:

  1. A straight galvanize pipe was purchased to be used on a water dredge ,the said pipe have to be curved to be installed through three points, the pipe must reach a temperature of 775K before it changes shape but the specific capacity () of the material is unknown at that temperature , find the specific capacity   at   775K using the Quadratic Interpolation method?  [pic 19][pic 20][pic 21][pic 22]
