2. Find Solution using Everett's formula
xf(x)
254
263.846
273.704
283.571
293.448
303.333

x = 27.4


Solution:
The value of table for `x` and `y`

x252627282930
y43.8463.7043.5713.4483.333

Everett method to find solution

`h=26-25=1`

Taking `x_0=27` then `p=(x-x_0)/h=(x-27)/1`

Now the central difference table is
`x``p=(x-27)/1``y``Deltay``Delta^2y``Delta^3y``Delta^4y``Delta^5y`
25-24
-0.154
26-13.8460.012
-0.142-0.003
2703.7040.0090.004
-0.1330.001-0.007
2813.5710.01-0.003
-0.123-0.002
2923.4480.008
-0.115
3033.333


`x = 27.4`

`p = (x - x_0)/h = (27.4 - 27)/1 = 0.4`

`y_0=3.704, Delta y_0=-0.133,Delta^2y_(-1)=0.009,Delta^4y_(-2)=0.004`

Everett interpolation formula is
`y_p=qy_0 + (q(q^2 - 1^2))/(3!) * Delta^2y_(-1) + (q(q^2 - 1^2)(q^2 - 2^2))/(5!) * Delta^4y_(-2)+...+py_1 + (p(p^2 - 1^2))/(3!) * Delta^2y_(0) + (p(p^2 - 1^2)(p^2 - 2^2))/(5!) * Delta^4y_(-1)+...`

`y_(0.4) = (0.6)*(3.704) + ((0.6)(0.36 - 1))/(6) * (0.009) + ((0.6)(0.36 - 1)(0.36 - 4))/(120) * (0.004)+...+(0.4)*(3.571) + ((0.4)(0.16 - 1))/(6) * (0.01) + ((0.4)(0.16 - 1)(0.16 - 4))/(120) * (-0.003)+...`

`y_(0.4)=2.2224 -0.000576 +0.000046592 + 1.4284 -0.00056 -0.000032256`

`y_(0.4)=3.64968`


Solution of Everett interpolation is `y(27.4) = 3.64968`
