1. Aim/Objective:
You are given the following data points (1,2),(2,5),(4,3),(5,10). Use interpolation to estimate value of
y at x = 8. Include the full working out and print the interpolated result.
2. Source Code:
from numpy import array
from scipy.interpolate import lagrange
x_values = array([1, 2, 4, 5])
y_values = array([2, 5, 3, 10])
poly_interpolation = lagrange(x_values, y_values)
x_new = 8
y_new = poly_interpolation(x_new)
print("Estimated value of y at x = 8:", y_new)
3. Output:
4. Learning Outcome:
• We shall develop proficiency in employing the interpolation method to solve mathematical
problems by implementing a Python function that efficiently searches for the optimal value
of a parameter within a specified range.
• We shall enhance our understanding of numerical methods, specifically the interpolation
method, for solving equations and optimization problems. We can apply these techniques to
find the parameter values that satisfy certain conditions, gaining insights into the importance
of precision and convergence in numerical solutions.
