Question:
Develop a program using a programming or macro language to implement the quadratic interpolation algorithm. Design the program so that it is expressly designed to locate a maximum. The subroutine should have the following features:
Base it on two initial guesses, and have the program generate the third initial value at the midpoint of the interval.
Check whether the guesses bracket a maximum. If not, the subroutine should not implement the algorithm, but should return an error massage.
Iterate until the relative error falls below a stopping criterion or exceeds a maximum number of iterations.
Return both the optimal x and ƒ(x).
Minimize the number of function evaluations.
Test your program with the same problem as Example 13.2
