(a) Given the data f(0)=0,f(1)=4,f(2)=2,f(3)=8f(0)=0, f(1)=4, f(2)=2, f(3)=8, find the interpolating cubic polynomial p3P3[x]p_{3} \in \mathbb{P}_{3}[x] in the Newton form.

(b) We add to the data one more value, f(2)=10f(-2)=10. Find the interpolating quartic polynomial p4P4[x]p_{4} \in \mathbb{P}_{4}[x] for the extended data in the Newton form.
