This math image could be re-created using vector graphics as a SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If a SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Lagrange polynomials for continuations of sequence 1,2,3.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Summary

Description
English: Lagrange polynomials and their graphs for ten possible continuations (0 to 9) of the sequence 1,2,3; each polynomial evaluates to 1,2,3, and the continuation at input 1,2,3, and 4, respectively; the "correct" continuation 4 leads to the polynomial of least degree
