In Problem 46 through 55, Find all the cubics through the given points. You may use the results from Exercises 44 and 45 throughout. If there is a unique cubic, make a rough sketch of it. If there are infinitely many cubics, sketch two of them.

54. (0,0)(1,0)(2,0)(0,1)(1,1)(2,1)(0,2)(1,2)(2,2).

Thus, the cubic that passes through the nine given points is of the form

c7x2-3x+x2+c10y2-3y+y2=0.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Given in the question.

Each point Pixi,yi defines an equation in the 10 variables c1,c2,.....,c10given by:

c1+Xic2 +yic3 +Xi2c4 +Xiyic5 +yi3c6 +yi3c7+xi2yic8 +xiyi2c9 +yi3c10=0

There are nine points.

The system of nine equations is written as follows:

Ac=0Here, A=1x1y1x12x1y1y12x13x12y1x1y12y131x2y2x22x2y2y22x23x22y2x2y22y231x3y3x32x3y3y32x33x32y3x3y32y331x9y9x92x9y9y92x93x92y9x9y92y93

Step 2: Apply gauss-Jordan elimination in the matrix .

Plug in the nine points to derive the A matrix.

A=120000000011010010001204008000101001000110200400081111111111121421842111212412481329642718128

Now, use gauss-Jordan elimination to solve the system Ac=0. Note that the matrix is identical to the A matrix from Exercise 52, with the addition of one row. Thus, the first eight rows is replaced with row echelon form in Exercise 52.

Step 3: Showing that cubics through .(0,0)(1,0)(2,0)(0,1)(1,1)(2,1)(0,2)(1,2)(2,2)

The solution of the equation Ac=0 which satisfies:

c1=0c2=2c7c3=2c10c4=0c4=-3c7c5=0c6=-3c10c8=0 c9=0

While c7,c10 are free variables. Recall that the cubic equation is as follows:

c1+Xc2 +yc3 +X 2c4 +Xyc5 +y 2c6 +x3c7 +x2yc8 +xy2c9+y3c10=0

Therefore, the cubic that passes through the nine given points is of the form

2c7x+2c10y-3c7x2-3c10y2+c10y3=0 c72x-3x2+x3+c102y-3y2+y3=0 c7x2-3x+x2+c10y2-3y+y2=0

Step 3: Sketch of cubics.

As the first example, substitute c7=1,c10=0. The cubic is

2x-3x2+x3=0xx2-3x+2=0xx-1x-2=0

Now, for a point ( x, y ) on the cubic curve is either x=0,x=1 or x=2. This set is graphed as follows:

As the first example, substitute c7=0,c10=1. The cubic is yy-1y-2=0.

Now, for a point (x,y) on the cubic curve is either y=0, y=1 or y=2. This set is graphed as follows:
