    Question 1 Total for Question 1: 20 marks


    (a) Use Lagrange multipliers to obtain the interpolating polynomial which passes
    through all the following points.
    x −1 0 1 2
    f (x) 0 −1 0 15
    Hence use your polynomial to approximate f ′ (x), f ′′ (x), f ′′′ (x), f ′ (1), f ′′ (1), f ′′′ (1).

    (a) Using Lagrange’s formula, find a polynomial which passes through the points

    (0, −12), (1, 0), (3, 6), (4, 12)

    . (10 marks)
    (b) Write down the Lagrange’s polynomial through (x0 , f0 ), (x1 , f1 ), (x2 , f2 ). Hence
    express
    3x2 + x + 1
    (x − 1)(x − 2)(x − 3)
    as sum of partial fractions. (10 marks)
