πŸ’‘ Hint: Use 'h' to think about how error varies.

Question 2

True or False: The trapezoidal rule provides a higher accuracy than Simpson's rule.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember which method fits a line and which fits a curve.

Question 1

Using a data set of (1, 3), (2, 5), and (3, 9), compute the derivative at x=2 using the forward and backward difference methods. Compare their results.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Calculate both approximations and discuss why they differ.

Question 2

If given the integral of sin(x) from 0 to Ο€ using Simpson’s Rule with n=2 intervals, calculate and compare it to the value obtained through trapezoidal rule.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Assess how both methods depict the shape and area under the curve.
