All the options are correct.

10) Find a one-dimensional linear interpolation formula for a function u = u(x) that varies 1 point
between u1 and u2 corresponding to positions x1 and x2 respectively, and as shown in the figure.

x2 − x x − x1
u = u1 ( ) + u2 ( ).
x 2 − x1 x 2 − x1

x1 − x x − x1
u = u1 ( ) − u2 ( ).
x 2 − x1 x 2 − x1

x2 − x x − x2
u = u1 ( ) + u2 ( ).
x 2 − x1 x 2 − x1

x2 − x x − x1
u = − u2 ( ) − u1 ( ).
x 2 − x1 x 2 − x1
