Answer:

The interpolating polynomial is p(x) = 1-4x+3x^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find a quadratic polynomial p(x) such that p(-1)=8, p(1)=0 and p(2)=5. In order to do this let us write p(x) = a_0+a_1x+a_3x^2.

Now, evaluating the polynomial in the points -1, 1 and 2 we get

\begin{cases} 8 = p(-1) &= a_0-a_1+a_2\\ 0 = p(1) &= a_0+a_1+a_2\\ 5 = p(2) &= a_0+2a_1+4a_2\end{cases}

This relations give us a linear system of equations:

\begin{cases} 8 &= a_0-a_1+a_2\\ 0 &= a_0+a_1+a_2\\ 5&= a_0+2a_1+4a_2\end{cases}

where the a_0, a_1 and a_2 are the unknowns.

The augmented matrix of the system is

\begin{pmatrix}1 & -1 & 1 & 8\\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 0\\ 1 & 2 & 4 & 5\end{pmatrix}

In this matrix it is easy to eliminate the 1's of the first column and get

\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 & 1 & 8\\ 0 & 2 & 0 & -8\\ 0 & 3 & 3 & -3\end{pmatrix}

From this matrix we can find the values of each unknown. Notice that the second row gives us 2a_2=-8 that yields a_1=-4.

Then, the third row means 3a_1+3a_2=-3 that gives -12+3a_2=-3. So, a_2=3.

Finally, the first row is a_0-a_1+a_2=8 and substituting is a_0+7=8 that yields a_0=1.

Therefore, the interpolating polynomial is

p(x) = 1-4x+3x^2.

Solution:

Calculate percentage change

from V1 = 14 to V2 = 40

(2−1)|1|×100

=(40−14)|14|×100

=2614×100

=1.85714×100

=185.714%change

Does anyone know what f(x)=-5x-1 when f(-7) i need help with this please.
vodomira [7]

Answer:

f(-7) = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

If f(x) = -5x - 1, then . . .

f(x) = -5x - 1

f(-7) = -5(-7) - 1

       = 35 - 1

       = 34

. . . because in f(-7), the (-7) is the x-value you're supposed to use to find the value of the function.
