Question: The following data are sampled from the step function depicted in Fig. 18.1: Fit these data with a (a) Cubic spline with not-a-knot end conditions,

The following data are sampled from the step function depicted in Fig. 18.1:

+(x)/ S 0 (a) tons 0 (b) (x)/ 0 (c) Toos 0

(P) X X

Fit these data with a 

(a) Cubic spline with not-a-knot end conditions,
(b) Cubic spline with zero-slope clamped end conditions, and 

(c) Piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation. In each case, create a plot comparing the fit with the step function.

+(x)/ S 0 (a) tons 0 (b) (x)/ 0 (c) Toos 0 (P) X X
