Lagrange interpolation polynomial

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Lagrange interpolation polynomial is defined for a set of points, specifically given by the formula y0L0(x) + y1L1(x) + y2L2(x) for points (x0, y0), (x1, y1), and (x2, y2). The basis polynomials L0(x), L1(x), and L2(x) are constructed using the formula Lk(x) = ∏(x - xi)/(xk - xi) for k ≠ i. This method ensures that the polynomial matches the function values at the specified points. Understanding this polynomial is essential for interpolating functions accurately.

Hello everyone
Here is my problem
lagrange interpolation polynomial across the points(x0,y0),(x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by y0L0(x) + y1L1(x) + y2L2(x)

where L0(x)=-x and L1(x)=x ^2 + x
Therefore L2(x) is given by
I tried it but i could'nt crack it

The polynomial [tex]L(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n f(x_{k}) \prod_{i=0, i \neq k}^n \frac{x-x_{i}}{x_{k}-x_{i}}[/tex] is called the Lagrangian interpolation polynomial for a function f and the points [tex]x_{0}, x_{1}, ..., x_{n}[/tex], and it has the same values as the function f in these points. So, all you have to do is find your function and your points.
