3. Mr. Mickey conducted an experiment to determine the distance travelled by a rocket at
selected time. The following are data measured by Mr. Mickey at each hour:

Time, t (Hour) 1 2 3 4
Distance, S (km) 40 58 65 86

a) Use a 3rd order Newton Polynomial to find an expression for the variation of the rockets
distance against time. Write in the form of = At + + + .

b) Repeat part (a) using 3rd order Lagrange Polynomial.

c) Based on the polynomial obtained in part (a), calculate the distance travelled by the
rocket, AND the rockets velocity, at t = 3.5hours.

4. The amount of mass transported via a pipe over a period of time can be computed as

"

rate (m /min.) and 3
= concentration (mg/m ). The following functional representations
define the temporal variations in flow and concentration:

= 9 + 4 &' 0.4
= 3* . +

a) Determine the total mass transported between = 2 min. and = 6 min. with a step size
of 1 min. using suitable application of Simpsons rule.

b) Estimate the rate of change of the volumetric flow rate between = 2 min. and =6
min. with a step size of 2 min. using differentiation formula of , .
5. Miss Mimo is a fashion designer and knows very little about integration. She would like to
calculate the area under two curves (see Figure 1 below) from X = 0 to X = 6. Given:

Curve 1 lies in the region of X = 0 to X = 3, where F ( X ) = 2 X 2 + 5 X + 1

Curve 2 lies in the region of X = 3 to X = 6, where F ( X ) = 3 X 2 + 2 X + 9

Use the 3-point Gauss Quadrature method and to help her calculate the total area under the
curves.
