Re: Define the intersection points of polynomials

There could 3 intersections rather than 2.

Re: Define the intersection points of polynomials

Yes. this is true. So the unknown variables will be six (the 3 intersection points)
So we need 6 cubics etc etc....

Re: Define the intersection points of polynomials

Yes, you will need 6 equations when there are 3 points of intersection.

Re: Define the intersection points of polynomials

How do you construct the polynomials?

MAthematica? I am not familiar with it..

Re: Define the intersection points of polynomials

There is a better tool for constructing them because it is dynamic. It is called Geogebra.

Re: Define the intersection points of polynomials

Ok, and for solving the system you use Mathematica or the afore mentioned tool?

Re: Define the intersection points of polynomials

Mathematica will solve the system and geogebra will construct it.

Here is a good one that I will provide all the data for and leave it as a challenge.

Re: Define the intersection points of polynomials

Putting it together now. it will take some time to post it. Please hold.

a3 = 1  , point ( 4,18 )

a3 = -0.142857142857141, point ( -4 , 10 )

a3 = 0.017482517482521 point (14 , 40)

a3 = -0.018939393939392 point ( 9 , -10 )

a3 = 0.066137566137551 point ( 10 , 50 )

a3 = -1.111111111111111 point ( 4 , -20 )

Re: Define the intersection points of polynomials

No problem, I am filling in post #135

A question about the formula in post #99. It has a P(xi) that the formula in post #98 did not have. What is it?

I am getting for a3

you are saying that P(x3) is y3 which makes sense.

Yes I think what you write in #139 is correct.

Okay, I will see if I can solve the problem I posted in post 133 - 135.

I think that it will be solved as you have 6 equations and 6 unknowns..x0---y3

Look at these two equations:

do you notice something different?

Re: Define the intersection points of polynomials

The a3 has coefficients in it, a0, a1, a2. While the formula for a2 does not have any coefficients in it.

So, if you now look a_3 you have six unknows. Using 6 cubics I think can leed to a soultion.

Re: Define the intersection points of polynomials

Yes, if you wanted to solve for the a's too. But you can substitute for those a's with earlier terms can you not?

Re: Define the intersection points of polynomials

What do you mean?

It is the same thing. You have only to solve the set of equations of a3. \

Afterwards, you know the x0-y3. If you wish you can compute a0-a2, but there is no need.

Of course you can substitute. Either you solve for a0 to a2 or for x0-y3 its the same.

Re: Define the intersection points of polynomials

Hi guys

Sorry about not posting all day. has the interpolation worked to reduce the number of needed equations?
