Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a set of function values for f(x): f(1) = 2, f(2) = 5, f(3) = 10, construct a difference table and find the second differences. Use this to predict f(4).

πŸ’‘ Hint: Start by calculating the first differences, then proceed to the second.

Question 2

Create a real-life scenario where finite differences could play a role in predicting outcomes. Analyze the impacts based on different incremental values.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Look for patterns when calculating with different years.
