Compute the first derivative of y = 2x^4 - 6x^3 - 12x - 8 at the point x=0 based on the value at xo = -0.5 using the most error-reducing approximations for forward difference approximation and the central difference approximation. Estimate the true percent relative error E2 for each approximation above.
