**Using Taylor Series Expansions to Determine the Error in the Approximation**

To approximate the fourth derivative of \( u \) at \( t \), we use the following expression:

\[
u^{iv}(t) \approx \frac{u(t+2h) - 4u(t+h) + 6u(t) - 4u(t-h) + u(t-2h)}{h^4}
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
= \frac{h^4 u^{iv} + \frac{1}{6} h^6 u^{(vi)}}{h^4}
\]

\[ 
= u^{iv} + \frac{1}{6} h^2 u^{(vi)}
\]

The last term, \(\frac{1}{6} h^2 u^{(vi)}\), represents the error in the approximation.

**Hint**: Expand \( u(t + 2h) \), etc., using Taylor series up to the \( h^6 \) term.
