Question:

A graphing calculator can be used to calculate a divided difference table. Figure 5A shows a program on a TI-84 Plus CE that calculates divided difference tables and Figure 5B shows the input and output generated when we use this program to solve Example 3.

INTERP PROGRAM: BL2 L3 dim(L3) M For(I, 2, M, 1) ForJ. M. I, -1) (L3(J)-L3(J-1)) /CL (J)-L1 (J-I+1 >>+L3 End

Enter this program into your graphing calculator and use it to solve Matched Problem 3.


Data from Example 3

Find the divided difference table for the points in Table 7.

Use the divided difference table to find the interpolating polynomial.

Table 7 x f(x) 0 35 1 25 2 19 3 -7 4 -29


Data from Matched Problem 3

Find the divided difference table for the points in Table 8.

Use the divided difference table to find the interpolating polynomial.

Table 8 X f(x) 0 5 1 1 2 -1 3 -7  4 1
