    This document discusses interpolation methods. It defines linear, quadratic, and cubic interpolation polynomials. It provides examples of using linear and quadratic interpolation to find values between given data points. The first example uses interpolation to find the current value at 22V given current measurements at 20V, 23V and 25V. The second example uses interpolation to estimate the natural logarithm of 2 given ln(1) and ln(4). Exercise problems are provided to find density values and current values using interpolation on given data tables.

    CHAPTER 8 NUMERICAL METHODS

    8.4 Interpolation
    The general formula for an th order polynomial is,

    Common interpolating polynomials include:


    1. First-order (linear) interpolating polynomial. This consider connecting two points.

    2. Second-order (quadratic or parabolic) interpolating polynomial. This consider


    connecting three points.

    3. Third-order (cubic) interpolating polynomial. This consider connecting four points.

    Example 1:
    Consider the data which represent values of current at given voltages.
    V (volts) I (ampere)
    20 0.0524
    23 0.2512
    25 0.3204

    Determine the value of the current when the voltage is 22 V. Use linear and
    parabolic interpolation.
    Solution:
