Answer: Use the Lagrange interpolating polynomial of degree three or less and four-digit

Chapter 3, Problem 12

(choose chapter or problem)

Use the Lagrange interpolating polynomial of degree three or less and four-digit chopping arithmetic to approximate cos 0.750 using the following values. Find an error bound for the approximation. cos 0.698 = 0.7661 cos 0.733 = 0.7432 cos 0.768 = 0.7193 cos 0.803 = 0.6946 The actual value of cos 0.750 is 0.7317 (to four decimal places). Explain the discrepancy between the actual error and the error bound.
