 Use the table to interpolate for 𝒔𝒊𝒏⁡(𝟖𝟎°)⁡

𝒙 𝐬𝐢𝐧(𝒙)
0 0.00000
15 0.25882
30 0.50000
45 0.70711
60 0.86603
75 0.96593
90 1.00000

Answer:
Linear Interpolation:
Considering a straight line equation,

sin(𝑥) = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏

At (75, 0.96593), 0.96593 = 75𝑎 + 𝑏 …⁡…⁡…⁡(1)

At (90, 1.00000),⁡1.00000 = 90𝑎 + 𝑏 … … … (2)

Solving these equations,

𝑎 = 2.271333 × 10−3

⁡𝑏 = 0.79558

So,⁡sin(𝑥) = 2.271333 × 10−3 𝑥 + 0.79558

At 𝑥 = 80°, ⁡sin(𝑥) = 0.97729.

Polynomial Interpolation:
Considering a second order polynomial,

sin(𝑥) = 𝑎1 + 𝑎2 𝑥 + 𝑎3 𝑥 2
Passing through 3 points (60, 0.86603), (75, 0.96593) and (90, 1.00000),

⁡𝑎1 + 60𝑎2 + 602 𝑎3 = 0.86603 … … … (1)

𝑎1 + 75𝑎2 + 752 𝑎3 = 0.96593 … … … (2)

𝑎1 + 90𝑎2 + 902 𝑎3 = 1.00000 … … … (3)

Solving these equations,
𝑎1 = −0.19187 ,

𝑎2 = 0.026409 ,

𝑎3 = −1.46289 × 10−4 .

Now, ⁡sin(𝑥) = −0.19187 + 0.026409𝑥 − 1.46289 × 10−4 𝑥 2

At 𝑥 = 80°, sin(𝑥) = 0.9846.

Finite Difference Method:

Consider,

sin(𝑥) = 𝑎1 + 𝑎2 (𝑥 − 𝑥1 ) + 𝑎3 (𝑥 − 𝑥1 )(𝑥 − 𝑥2 )

Taking 𝑥1 = 75 and ⁡𝑥2 = 90,

sin(𝑥) = 𝑎1 + 𝑎2 (𝑥 − 75) + 𝑎3 (𝑥 − 75)(𝑥 − 90)

When⁡𝑥 = 60°,

0.86603 = 𝑎1 + 𝑎2 (60 − 75) + 𝑎3 (60 − 75)(60 − 90)⁡

=> 0.86603 = 𝑎1 − 15𝑎2 + 450𝑎3 … … … (1)

When⁡𝑥 = 75°,

0.96593 = 𝑎1 + 𝑎2 (75 − 75) + 𝑎3 (60 − 75)(60 − 90)⁡

=> 0.96593 = 𝑎1 … … … (2)

When⁡𝑥 = 90°,

1.00000 = 𝑎1 + 𝑎2 (90 − 75) + 𝑎3 (90 − 75)(90 − 90)

=> 1.00000 = 𝑎1 + 15𝑎2 ⁡…⁡…⁡…⁡(3)

Solving equations (1), (2) and (3), we get,

𝑎1 = 0.96593,

𝑎2 = 2.27133 × 10−3 ,

𝑎3 = −1.46289 × 10−4 .⁡

So, sin(𝑥) = 0.96593 + 2.27133 × 10−3 (𝑥 − 75) − 1.46289 × 10−4 (𝑥 − 75)(𝑥 − 90)

At 𝑥 = 80°, sin(𝑥) = 0.9846.
