Use appropriate Lagrange interpolating polynomials of degrees one, two, and three to approximate f(8.4) if f(8.1)=16.94410, f(8.3)=17.56492, f(8.6)=18.50515, f(8.7)=18.82091. The data for this exercise was generated from the function f(x)=xlnx. Use the error formula to find a bound for the error and compare the bound to the actual error for the cases n=1 and n=2.
