    Answer on Question #56855 – Math – Algorithms | Quantitative Methods

    For the given functions f (x), let x0 = 0, x1 = 0.6, and x2 = 0.9. Construct interpolation polynomials of degree
    at most one and at most two to approximate f (0.45), and find the absolute error.

    a. f (x) = cos x

    Solution

    𝑦0 = 𝑓(𝑥0 ) = cos 0 = 1;

    𝑦1 = 𝑓(𝑥1 ) = cos 0.6 = 0.8253;

    𝑦2 = 𝑓(𝑥2 ) = cos 0.9 = 0.6216;

    a) The Lagrange interpolation polynomial of degree at most 1 is constructed as follows:


    𝑥1 − 𝑥 𝑥 − 𝑥0
    𝑦0 + 𝑦 , 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑥 ∈ [𝑥0, 𝑥1],
    𝑥 −𝑥 𝑥1 − 𝑥0 1
    𝐿1 (𝑥) = { 𝑥1 − 𝑥0 𝑥 − 𝑥1
    2
    𝑦1 + 𝑦 , 𝑓𝑜𝑟 x ∈ [x1, x2],
    𝑥2 − 𝑥1 𝑥2 − 𝑥1 2

    1 − 0.2912𝑥, 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑥 ∈ [0, 0.6],


    𝐿1 (𝑥) = {
    1.2327 − 0.679𝑥, 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑥 ∈ [0.6, 0.9],

    𝑓(0.45) ≈ 0.8690 is approximated through the linear Lagrange polynomial: 𝑓(0.45) = cos 0.45 = 0.9004.

    The absolute error is

    |0.9004 − 0.8690| = 0.0314.

    b) The Lagrange interpolation polynomial of degree at most 2 is constructed as follows:

    𝐿2 (𝑥) = 𝑙0 (𝑥)𝑦0 + 𝑙1 (𝑥)𝑦1 + 𝑙2 (𝑥)𝑦2 ,

    where

    𝑥 − 𝑥1 𝑥 − 𝑥2
    𝑙0 (𝑥) = ( )( )
    𝑥0 − 𝑥1 𝑥0 − 𝑥2
    𝑥 − 𝑥0 𝑥 − 𝑥2
    𝑙1 (𝑥) = ( )( )
    𝑥1 − 𝑥0 𝑥1 − 𝑥2
    𝑥 − 𝑥0 𝑥 − 𝑥1
    𝑙2 (𝑥) = ( )( )
    𝑥2 − 𝑥0 𝑥2 − 𝑥1

    𝑓(0.45) ≈ 0.8980 is approximated through the quadratic Lagrange polynomial.

    The absolute error is

    |0.9004 − 0.8980 | = 0.0024.
