Find the third degree polinomial passes through point (2,3), (3,5), (4,-7), and (0,1)
Solution :
suppose the polinomial equation :
y=a*x^3+b*x^2+c*x+d
passes through point(2,3) means :
3=a*2^3+b*2^2+c*2+d
3=8a+4b+2c+d [1]
passes through point(3,5) means :
5=a*3^3+b*3^2+c*3+d
5=27a+9b+3c+d [2]
passes through point(4,-7) means :
-7=a*4^3+b*4^2+c*4+d
-7=64a+16b+4c+d [3]
pasess through point (0,1)means :
1=a*0+b*0+c*0+d
1=d [4]
from 3*[1] and 2*[2] and [4] :
6=24a+12b+6c+3
10=54a+18b+6c+2
------------- -
4=30a+6b+1
3=30a+6b [5]
from 4*[2] and 3*[3] and 4 :
20=108a+36b+12c+4
-21=192a+48b+12c+3
--------------- -
-41=84a+12b+1
-42=84a+12b
-21=42a+6b [6]
from [5] and [6] :
3=30a+6b
-21=42a+6b
------------ -
-24=12a
a=-2 [7]
substitute to [5]
3=30*(-2)+6b
3=-60+6b
6b=63
b=10.5 [8]
substitute [4],[7] and [8] to [1]
3=8*(-2)+4*10.5+2c+1
3=-16+42+2c+1
2c=3-1+16-42
2c=-24
c=-12 [9]
from [4],[7],[8], and [9] :
y=-2x^3+10.5x^2-12x+1 is the polinomial to be solved
