### Backwards Difference Approximation of First Derivative

Using Taylor’s theorem, in lecture we derived the forward difference approximation to the first derivative. In a similar fashion, derive the backwards difference approximation:

\[ 
\frac{f(x_0) - f(x_0 - h)}{h} = f'(x_0) - \frac{1}{2} h f''(\xi) 
\]

assuming that \( f \in C^2([a, b]) \).
