Question 1
Given f(x) = sin(x), find the first and second forward differences at x = Ο/4 with a small increment h = 0.1.
π‘ Hint: Use calculator or table values to evaluate sin at the required points.
Question 2
Suppose you have the data values f(x) at x = 1, 2, 3, 4. Show how these can be used to create a difference table to find approximations for higher order derivatives.
π‘ Hint: Follow the systematic method for creating a difference table.
