Solution

I'm sorry, but you didn't provide the 4 points that the cubic spline should pass through. However, I can explain the general process of finding a natural cubic spline.

A cubic spline is a piecewise cubic polynomial that is twice continuously differentiable. For a natural cubic spline, the second derivative at the endpoints is zero.

Given n+1 points (x0, y0), (x1, y1), ..., (xn, yn), we want to find n cubic polynomials

Sj(x) = aj + bj(x - xj) + cj(x - xj)^2 + dj(x - xj)^3 for x ∈ [xj, xj+1]

The conditions for S(x) to be an interpolating cubic spline are:

  1. Sj(xj) = yj for all j
  2. Sj(xj+1) = yj+1 for all j
  3. Sj'(xj+1) = Sj+1'(xj+1) for all j
  4. Sj''(xj+1) = Sj+1''(xj+1) for all j
  5. S''(x0) = S''(xn) = 0 (natural spline condition)

These conditions will give you a system of linear equations for the coefficients aj, bj, cj, dj. You can solve this system by hand or using a software like Matlab.

For example, the first two conditions give:

aj = yj bj = (yj+1 - yj)/(xj+1 - xj) - (2cj + 3dj(xj+1 - xj))(xj+1 - xj)/3

The third and fourth conditions give:

cj + 3dj(xj+1 - xj) = cj+1 2cj + 6dj(xj+1 - xj) = 2cj+1

The fifth condition gives:

c0 = cn = 0

You can solve this system using Gaussian elimination or any other method.
