1) For the given: P0, P1, and P2, plot the behavior of cubic Bézier basis functions assuming 0<= t <=
1 where ‘t’ is the parameter and show that the Bézier basis functions have the property of
partition of unity. Save the figure, with proper labeling of the axes.

2) For the given: P0, P1, P2, and P3 plot the behavior of B-spline basis functions assuming 0 <= u <= 1
where ‘u’ is the parameter for the following conditions: (A) p = 3, U = [0, 1/7, 2/7, 3/7, 4/7, 5/7, 6/7,
1], (B) p = 3, U = [0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1,1]; where p is the degree of the spline and U is the set of know
vectors. Save the figure, with proper labeling of the axes.

However MS Excel can generate only a maximum degree of 6 in scatter plots. Hence I have attached

5) The derived equation for the given data is y = 2 + x – 3x 2 + 3x3.

We plotted the fitted curve for x in the interval 0 to 1 at 0.25 steps. We can see that the equation
obtained in Excel is the exact equation.
