IV. INTERPRETATION

1. Interpretation for Newton's Polynomial Interpolation


The Newton’s Polynomial Interpolation is a
powerful method calculates an nth-degree polynomial
that passes through n+1 points. It starts with a
first-degree polynomial and then progressively adds
higher degrees to fit the given data points. The data
was given in the table consist of four points. Its
much easier to solve this problem using the MATLAB
program. Manually, it takes much longer time to it
solve. The result in manual solving is the same with
the result in the program.

2. Interpretation for Lagrange Polynomial Interpolation


In the figure no. 2 shown used a Lagrange Interpolating
polynomial, it is the unique polynomial of lowest
degree that interpolates a given set of data. Given
a data set of coordinate pairs with the are called
nodes and the are called values. The data was given
in the table shown in problem two. The code was
simple for this problem, it was easily calculated
when you input the data for the problem. However,
it was kind of challenging when you compute it
manually cause
it would take an ample of time to solve it. The result
is nearly similar to both ways of calculating.

3. Interpretation for Quadratic Spline Polynomial


Interpolation
Quadratic spline interpolation is an interpolation
method through which we can find functions to
approximate outputs based on discrete data points
through the use of quadratic polynomials. In this
case, the quadratic interpolation is solving the 9
unknowns in the given x and y values

4. Interpretation for Cubic Spline Interpolation


Curve Fitting is well-known deterministic
approach to function approximation in mathematical
fields. It is the process of constructing a curve or
mathematical function that has the best fit to series
of data points, possibly subject to constraints.
Specifically, we assume that the points (xi,yi) and
(xi+1,yi+1) are joined by a cubic polynomial
Si(x)=aix3+bix2+cix+di that is valid for xi≤x≤xi+1
for i=1,…,n−1. To find the interpolating function, we
must first determine the coefficients ai,bi,ci,di ,
for each of the cubic functions. For n points, there
are n−1 cubic functions to find, and each cubic
function requires four coefficients. Therefore, we
have a total of 4(n−1) unknowns, and so we need 4(n−1)
independent equations to find all the coefficients.
Thus, a solution is shown.

5. Interpretation for Curve Fitting by Function


Approximation

Curve fitting is the process of constructing a curve,


or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a
series of data points, possibly subject to
constraints. In this method, we used formulas
depending on the problem equation or on the give axis.
Where we solve the sum of X and Y…XY…X^2 and etc.…
In this method to solve the problem you have to input
the sum of X and Y and the other total Sum of the
table…then you’ll get the a…b…c and compute the
equation.
