Interpolation by Newton’s Polynomials
An intepolating polynomial touches every point used to build it. Thus
For lineal interpolation
p1 ( x0 ) = y 0

p1 ( x1 ) = y 1

For quadratic interpolation

p2 ( x 0 ) = y 0

p2 ( x1 ) = y 1

p2 ( x2 ) = y 2

Newton’s Polynomial are

p1 ( x )=a0 +a 1 ( x−x 0 )

p2 ( x ) =a0 +a 1 ( x−x 0 ) + a2 ( x −x0 ) ( x−x 1 )

p3 ( x ) =a0 + a1 ( x−x 0 ) + a2 ( x −x 0) ( x−x 1)

+ a3 ( x−x 0 ) (x−x 1)(x−x 2)

Linear Polynomial
p1 ( x )=a0 +a 1 ( x−x 0 )

The polynomial touches every point used to build it

1) p1 ( x0 ) = y 0=a0 +a1 ( x 0−x 0 )
2) p1 ( x1 ) = y 1=a 0+ a1 ( x1− x0 )
So from eq 1, we have a o=Y 0
So in eq. 2)
y 1= y 0 + a1 ( x 1−x 0 )

y1 − y0
a 1=
x1 −x0

Thus:

p1 ( x )= y 0+
( y 1− y 0
x 1−x 0 )
( x−x 0 )
Newton’s quadratic Polynomial
p2 ( x)=a0 + a1 ( x−x 0 ) + a2 ( x−x 0 )( x −x1 )

The polynomial touches every point used to build it

1) p2 ( x 0) = y 0=a0 +a 1 ( x 0−x 0 ) + a2 ( x 0−x 0 ) ( x 0−x 1 )
2) p2 ( x1 ) = y 1=a 0+ a1 ( x1 −x0 ) + a2 ( x1 −x0 ) ( x 1−x 1 )
3) p2 ( x2 ) = y 2=a 0+ a1 ( x 2−x 0 )+ a2 ( x 2−x 0 )( x 2−x 1 )
So from eq 1, we have a o=Y 0
So in eq. 2)
y 1= y 0 + a1 ( x 1−x 0 )

y1 − y0
a 1=
x1 −x0

Thus:

p1 ( x )= y 0+ ( y 1− y 0
x 1−x 0 )
( x−x 0 )
