April. 5, 2010 - Interpolation and Extrapolation (Chapter 6)

Today in class I learned how to interpolate and extrapolate. I also learned the difference between them because I honestly didn't know the difference before. Interpolating is when you are given a set of values and you estimate between them.

eg.






When x=2.5 then y=?

Interpolate the given values
y=5






Extrapolating is when you estimate a value beyond a given set of values.

eg.







When y=12 then x=?

Extrapolate beyond given values by extending the line
x=8




Thanks for reading one of my journal entries. Please leave a comment!
