Answer the following: Each question carries 10 Marks

1. If P is the pull required to lift a load W by means of a pulley block, find a linear
law of the form P = mW + C connecting P and W, using the following data
P 12 15 21 25
W 50 70 100 120

2. Find the cubic polynomial which takes the following values y(0) = 1, y(1) = 0,
y(2) = 1 and y(3) = 10 , hence obtain the value of y(0.5)?

3. Use Lagrange’s interpolation formula to fit a polynomial for the data

x 0 1 3 4
y -12 0 6 12
Hence estimate y at x = 2.
