What is the "home base" for this function?

(Hint: check the 'attacking' section. What point do you attack? What is it for this function?)

Use (x, y) format, one space after the comma.

For two points (x_{1}, y_{1}) and (x_{2}, y_{2}), the equation for the interpolating polynomial is

p(x) = \frac{x - x_1}{x_2-x_1}\cdot (y_2) + \frac{x - x_2}{x_1-x_2}\cdot (y_1)

If f(x) is a polynomial passing through (-1, 0) and (1, 10), what is f(2)?

For three points (x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2), and (x_3, y_3), the equation for the interpolation polynomial is

p(x) = \frac{(x - x_1)(x-x_2)}{(x_3-x_1)(x_3-x_2)}\cdot (y_3) + \frac{(x - x_1)(x-x_3)}{(x_2-x_1)(x_2-x_3)}\cdot (y_2) + \frac{(x - x_3)(x-x_2)}{(x_1-x_3)(x_1-x_2)}\cdot (y_1)
