How many equations would you need to compute a series of cubic splines of the form ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d to fit through 4 data points and why?

Solutions

Expert Solution

The picture contains the solution to the problem. The number of equation required for each cubic spline is 4. But however the question ask for a series of cubic splines in which case the number of terms in series of cubic spline is dependent on the number of data point. In general if there is n point, the number of cubic spline that can be drawn is n-3. In which case the number of equation is 4(n-3).
