The code should be written with python. Question 1: Computing Polynomials [35 marks A polynomial is a mathematical expression that can be built using constants and variables by means of addition, multiplication and exponentiation to a non-negative integer power. While there can be complex polynomials with multiple variable, in this exercise we limit out scope to polynomials with a single variable. The variable of a polynomial can be substituted by any values and the mapping that is associated with the...
1. Suppose that we would like to approximate Sof(x)dx by QU) = 0 P2(x)dx, (1) where P2(x) is the polynomial of degree at most two which interpolates f at 0, 1/2, and 1. (a) Write P2(x) in Lagrange form and prove that Q[F] o [s0 f(0) + 4f 45 (2) +scn)] (2) (b) Consider now a general interval [a, b] and the integral só f(x)dx. Do the change of variables x = a + (b − a)t to transform the...
I am confused about how to solve (b) (c) (d) (4) (Interpolating polynomials) Say we want to find a polynomial f(x) of degree 3, satisfying some interpolation conditions. In each case below, write a system of linear equations whose solutions are (ao, a1, a2, az). You don't need to solve. (a) We want f(x) to pass through the points(1,-1), (1, 2), (2,1) and (3,5). (b) We want f(x) to pass through (1,0) with derivative +2 and (2,3) with derivative-1 (c)...
1. Taylor series are special power series that are defined from a function f(z) atz = a by fitting higher and higher degree polynomials T, a(x) to the curve at the point (a, f(a)), with the goal of getting a better and better fit as we not only let the degree grow larger, but take a series whose partial sums are these so-called Taylor polynomials Tm,a(x) We will explore how this is done by determine the Taylor series of f(z)...
Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
