Answer any five questions. All questions carry equal marks.
Main
Using Newton’s forward formula compute f(142) from the following table:
| x | 140 | 150 | 160 | 170 | 180 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| f(x) | 3.685 | 4.854 | 6.302 | 8.076 | 10.225 |
Answer
To compute f(142) using Newton's forward interpolation formula, we first construct the forward difference table with h = 10 and x₀ = 140.
| x | f(x) | Δf(x) | Δ²f(x) | Δ³f(x) | Δ⁴f(x) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 140 | 3.685 | 1.169 | 0.279 | 0.017 | 0.007 |
| 150 | 4.854 | 1.448 | 0.296 | 0.024 | - |
| 160 | 6.302 | 1.774 | 0.320 | - | - |
| 170 | 8.076 | 2.149 | - | - | - |
| 180 | 10.225 | - | - | - | - |
The formula is given by f(x₀ + ph) = f(x₀) + pΔf(x₀) + [p(p-1)/2!]Δ²f(x₀) + [p(p-1)(p-2)/3!]Δ³f(x₀) + [p(p-1)(p-2)(p-3)/4!]Δ⁴f(x₀), where p = (x - x₀) / h.
For x = 142, p = (142 - 140) / 10 = 0.2.
Substituting the values from the table:
Rounding to three decimal places, the value is 3.897.
By the method of least squares, find the straight line that best fits in the following data:
| x | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| y | 14 | 27 | 40 | 55 | 68 |
Answer
To find the best-fit straight line of the form y = ax + b using the method of least squares, we solve the following normal equations:
Given the data points (1, 14), (2, 27), (3, 40), (4, 55), and (5, 68), we first calculate the necessary summations for n = 5:
| x | y | x2 | xy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 14 | 1 | 14 |
| 2 | 27 | 4 | 54 |
| 3 | 40 | 9 | 120 |
| 4 | 55 | 16 | 220 |
| 5 | 68 | 25 | 340 |
| Total | 204 | 55 | 748 |
Substituting these values into the normal equations:
Multiplying the first equation by 3 gives 612 = 45a + 15b. Subtracting this from the second equation:
Substituting a = 13.6 into the first equation:
Thus, the straight line that best fits the data is y = 13.6x.
