ALGORITHM 3.3
Hermite Interpolation
To obtain the coefficients of the Hermite interpolating polynomial H(x) on the (n + 1) distinct numbers x0, …, xn for the function f:
INPUT numbers x0, x1, …, xn; values f (x0), ... , f (xn) and f′ (x0), ... , f′ (xn).
OUTPUT the numbers Q0, 0, Q1, 1, … , Q2n + 1, 2n + 1 where
Step 1 For i = 0, 1, … , n do Steps 2 and 3.
Step 2
Step 3 If i ≠ 0 then set
Step 4 For i = 2, 3, … , 2n + 1
for j = 2, 3, ... , i set
Step 5 OUTPUT (Q0, 0, Q1, 1, … , Q2n + 1, 2n + 1);
STOP.
Theorem 3.9 If f ∈ C1 [a, b] and x0, …, xn ∈ [a, b] are distinct, the unique polynomial of least degree agreeing with f and f′ at x0, …, xn is the Hermite polynomial of degree at most 2n + 1 given by
where, for Ln, j (x) denoting the jth Lagrange coefficient polynomial of degree n, we have
Moreover, if f ∈ C2n + 2 [a, b], then
for some (generally unknown) ξ(x) in the interval (a, b).

Flying in a straight line at a constant altitude of 1000 ft and at a steady speed of 256 ft/s, the aircraft passed directly over the trawler. How fast (in ft/s) was the aircraft receding from the trawler when it was 1400 ft from the trawler? (Round your answer to one decimal places.) 1000 ft 180 × ft/s Need Help?
