Have points
f:0.25↦25.20.5↦49.21↦96.41.25↦119.4
want to interpolate to approximate
f(0.75). Our interpolating polynomial is given by
P(x)=(0.25−0.5)(0.25−1)(0.25−1.25)(x−0.5)(x−1)(x−1.25)(25.2)+(0.5−0.25)(0.5−1)(0.5−1.25)(x−0.25)(x−1)(x−1.25)(49.2)+(1−0.25)(1−0.5)(1−1.25)(x−0.25)(x−0.5)(x−1.25)(96.4)+(1.25−0.25)(1.25−0.5)(1.25−1)(x−0.25)(x−0.5)(x−1)(119.4)
which at
x=0.75 evaluates to
≈72.96, giving an estimate time of
1:12.96
