Answer any five questions. All questions carry equal marks.
Main
Find the second difference of the polynomial
Answer
Let f(x) = x4 - x3 + x2 - 12x + 30 and the interval of difference be h = 2. The forward difference operator is defined as Δf(x) = f(x + h) - f(x). The second difference is Δ2f(x) = f(x + 2h) - 2f(x + h) + f(x).
Substituting h = 2:
Calculating the terms:
Substituting these into the expression for Δ2f(x):
Fit a curve
| x | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
| y | 9 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 11 | 13 | 14 | 16 | 15 |
Answer
To fit the line y = a + bx, we use the normal equations:
Given n = 9, we calculate the sums:
| x | y | xy | x2 |
| 1 | 9 | 9 | 1 |
| 2 | 8 | 16 | 4 |
| 3 | 10 | 30 | 9 |
| 4 | 12 | 48 | 16 |
| 5 | 11 | 55 | 25 |
| 6 | 13 | 78 | 36 |
| 7 | 14 | 98 | 49 |
| 8 | 16 | 128 | 64 |
| 9 | 15 | 135 | 81 |
| Total | 108 | 597 | 285 |
Here, Σx = 45, Σy = 108, Σxy = 597, Σx2 = 285. Substituting into the normal equations:
Solving the system: Dividing the first by 9 gives a + 5b = 12, so a = 12 - 5b. Substituting into the second:
Then a = 12 - 5(0.95) = 7.25. The fitted curve is y = 7.25 + 0.95x.
