Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

Calculate the forward difference for the points (3, 6) and (4, 10).

💡 Hint: Remember the forward difference formula Δy = y(i+1) - y(i).

Question 2

Easy

What is the backward difference for the points (5, 15) and (4, 10)?

💡 Hint: Use the backward difference formula ∇y = y(i) - y(i-1).

Question 1

What is the formula for the forward difference?

  • Δy = y(i+1) - y(i)
  • ∇y = y(i) - y(i-1)
  • Central = (Δy + ∇y)/2

💡 Hint: Look for the option using next point.

Question 2

True or False: Backward difference calculates the change between a point and the following point.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the definition of backward difference.
