Question

Let f be a sufficiently smooth function on [2, 3] (say, f ∈ C^5 [2, 3]). Suppose that some values for f are given by the table

x            f(x)

2.1         2.43

2.3         2.81

2.5         3.25

2.7         3.53

2.9         3.84

Use the most appropriate forward-difference, backward-difference, three-point, fivepoint formulas to find approximations for f' (2.5). Also, use the table and an appropriate formula to find an approximation for f''(2.5).
