Homework Statement
Using Maple, I'm asked to create a quintic function, in the form of ax^5+bx^4+cx^3+dx^2+ex+f given the following data:
It will pass through the points (-5,15), (-5/2, 100), and (10, -5)
-f'(5)=(-1)
-f''(5)=1
Homework Equations
How would I go about doing this? I'm allowed to use Maple. If anyone could demonstrate, that'd be great.
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure where to start. I can't solve for anyone coefficient in particular, because then I just end up with the value of it in relation to the other coefficients. ANy help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Edit: I think I could even do it if I had one more point, I just don't know how to find a fourth one.
