interpolation is estimating a value that is within your range of results
extrapolation is estimating a value that is outside your range of results

Interpolate is to estimate missing data between two datum points (think a line with missing segments).
Extrapolate is to estimate data based on data you have (think an arrow suggesting a continuation of data)
interpolate- 1,2,3,...,5,6
extrapolate- 1,2,3,4,...

inerpolation: the act or process of interpolating or the state of being interpolated
extrapolation: to infer (an unknown) from something that is known; conjecture
