Chapter 18, Problem 27P

The following is the built-in humps function that MATLAB uses to demonstrate some of its numerical capabilities:

f ( x ) = 1 ( x 0.3 ) 2 + 0.01 + 1 ( x 0.9 ) 2 + 0.04 6

The humps function exhibits both fl at and steep regions over a relatively short x range. Generate values of this function at intervals of 0.1 over the range from x = 0 to 1. Fit these data with a cubic spline and create a plot comparing the fit with the exact humps function.
