Extrapolation
Please explain what are the minimum variables / data are required to perform extrapolation.
For eg:
0 3 6 9 12 18
1.2 1.3 1.4 1.3 1.4 ?
Can I perform extrapolation only with three interval data,if yes is it acceptable?

etxrapolation => straight line equation = in two-point form
interpolation => straight line equation or calculated polynomial within the interpolation points.
extrapolation:
Here is an example from the Internet, shown more clearly and simply / corrected. This means you are now going to the series of results
and expands this by (70 ... 110) and calculate the corresponding x-values.
interpolation:
The determined polynomial could also be used approximately within the given XY values,
or, two-point form of the straight line equation. As is easy to see, the polynomial runs out of control outside the specified XY values and becomes too imprecise.
