p(x)=c_3 x^3 +c_2 x^2 +c_1 x+c_0 insert the given values and solve the linear system for c_j

$${p}\left({x}\right)={c}_{\mathrm{3}} {x}^{\mathrm{3}} +{c}_{\mathrm{2}} {x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}_{\mathrm{1}} {x}+{c}_{\mathrm{0}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{insert}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{given}\:\mathrm{values}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{solve}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{linear} \\ $$$$\mathrm{system}\:\mathrm{for}\:{c}_{{j}} \\ $$

alternative method: p(1)=p((1/4))=3 ⇒p(x)=a(x)(x−1)(x−(1/4))+3 p((1/3))=a((1/3))((1/3)−1)((1/3)−(1/4))+3=4 ⇒a((1/3))=−18 ⇒a(x)=b(x−(1/3))−18 ⇒p(x)=(b(x−(1/3))−18)(x−1)(x−(1/4))+3 p((1/2))=(b((1/2)−(1/3))−18)((1/2)−1)((1/2)−(1/4))+3=6 ⇒b=−36 ⇒p(x)=(−36(x−(1/3))−18)(x−1)(x−(1/4))+3 ⇒p(x)=−18(2x+(1/3))(x−1)(x−(1/4))+3 p(2)=−18(2×2+(1/3))(2−1)(2−(1/4))+3 =−3×13×(7/2)+3 =−((267)/2)
