We consider the example from class for approximating f'(2) for f(x) = sin(x) using a finite difference approximation. This time, we will be using f(xo+h)-f(ro-h) 2h f'(xo)≈ instead. Show using Taylor's Theorem that you expect the truncation error of this approxi- mation to be O(h²).

Question
We consider the example from class for approximating f'(2) for f(x) = sin(x) using a finite
difference approximation. This time, we will be using
f(xo+h)-f(xo-h)
2h
f'(x)=
instead. Show using Taylor's Theorem that you expect the truncation error of this approxi-
mation to be O(h²).
