ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS.
1. Using Gregory- Newton forward interpolation formula, interpolate f (2.5), given that f (x )
passes through the points (2, 1), (3, 2), (4, 6), (5, 24) and (6, 120).
2. Find the equation of the parabola passing through the points (0, 1), (1, 3), and (3, 55) using
Lagrange’s interpolation formula.
