Part-A

1. Using Lagrange’s formula, prove

Y1 = Y3 – 0.3 (Y5 – Y-3) + 0.2(Y-3 – Y-5) nearly.

2. Find the value of given where using table:

210 230 250

f( 0.3706 0.4068 0.4433

3. Fit a polynomial in x using Newton’s divided difference formula, for the following data:

x: -4 -1 0 2 5
f(x): 1245 33 5 9 1335

Part-B

4. Given the table

X0 300 310 320 330 340

Sinx0 0.5000 0.5150 0.5299 0.5446 0.5592

Evaluate Sin(300 15/ 30//)

5. Find cubic polynomial passing through points (0,1) (1,2) (2,1) (3,10). Hence find f(4).

6. In an examination, the number of candidates who secured marks between certain limits were as
follows:
 Marks: 0 - 19 20-39 40-59 60-79 80-99

No. of 41 62 65 50 17
students:

Estimate the number of candidates getting marks less than 70.
