It is suspected that the high amounts of tannin in mature oak leaves inhibit the growth of winter moth (Operophtera bromata L., Geometridae) larvae that extensively damage these trees in certain years. Table 1 lists the average weight of a sample of larvae at times in the first 17 days after birth. The sample was reared on young oak leaves. [Information was taken from Burden, R.L and Faires, J.D., Numerical Analysis, gh Edition] x, time in days y, average weight(mg) 6.67 17.33 42.67 30.1 6 10 17 Table 1 a) Obtain the Lagrange interpolating polynomial to approximate the average weight of the sample winter moth larvae for the data given in Table 1.
