Provide an appropriate response
-Let $\mathrm { p } _ { 0 } , \mathrm { p } _ { 1 }$ , and $\mathrm { p } _ { 2 }$ be points in $\mathfrak { R } ^ { \mathrm { n } }$ and define $\mathrm { f } _ { 0 } ( \mathrm { t } ) = ( 1 - \mathrm { t } ) \mathrm { p } _ { 0 } + \mathrm { tp } _ { 1 } , \mathrm { f } _ { 1 } ( \mathrm { t } ) = ( 1 - \mathrm { t } ) \mathrm { p } _ { 1 } + \mathrm { tp } _ { 2 }$ , and $g ( t ) = ( 1 - t ) f _ { 0 } ( t ) + t f _ { 1 } ( t )$ for $0 \leq t \leq 1$ .
Find $\left. g \frac { 1 } { 2 } \right)$ in terms of the three points.

• A) \(g \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } \right) = \frac { 3 } { 2 } p _ { 0 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } p _ { 1 } - \frac { 1 } { 2 } p _ { 2 }\)
• B) \(g \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } \right) = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { p } _ { 0 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { p } _ { 1 }\)
• C) \(g \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } \right) = \frac { 1 } { 4 } p _ { 0 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } p _ { 1 } + \frac { 1 } { 4 } p _ { 2 }\)
• D) \(g \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } \right) = \frac { 9 } { 16 } \mathrm { p } _ { 0 } + \frac { 3 } { 8 } \mathrm { p } _ { 1 } + \frac { 1 } { 16 } \mathrm { p } _ { 2 }\)
