    What is intrapolation and extrapolation?
    if the value of x is extrapolation then is it acceptable?
    Thank you.

    If you have 2 values and you approximate for a value between those two values then that is interpolation.

    If you have 2 values and you approximate for a value outside those two values, then that is extrapolation.

    Interpolation always gives a better approximation. However usually extrapolation is OK for the exam (although it depends on the question and the topic).
