We consider f: R → R by f(x) = x²-3x. From Calculus, it is known that of (a) = 2x-3. We'll compute forward difference approximations and symmetric difference approximations at xo = 1, for three values of h> 0. While it would be good to try another value of co, we don't have the heart to make you do that many hand computations! (a) Using the formulas in the notes, show all of the calculations to determine the first row of Table 2. By all calculations, it is meant, show the values for f(xo + h), (f(xo+h)-f(xo)), etc. as you arrive at your numerical approximations of the derivative. (b) Complete the table without showing any further calculations

Suppose that during the first few hours of a laboratory experiment, the temperature of a certain substance is closely approximated by the function f(t) = -2²+ St, where t is measured in hours, with t = 0 corresponding to the instant the experiment begins, and f(t) is the temperature (°F) of the substance after t hours.
