Explanation Given information: The interval is [ − 1 , 2 ] and value of n = 6 . Formula used: For each interval [ a , b ] and interval n the h can be calculated as; h = b − a n And, x n = a + n h Calculation: The interval is [ − 1 , 2 ] and value of n = 6 . And, a = − 1 b = 2 For each interval [ a , b ] and interval n the h can be calculated as; h = b − a n By using the above formula, h = 2 − ( − 1 ) 6 = 3 6 = 1 2 For x 0 substitute n = 0 in the function x n = a + n h , x 0 = − 1 + 0 ⋅ 1 2 = − 1 For x 1 substitute n = 1 in the function x n = a + n h , x 1 = − 1 + 1 ⋅ 1 2 = − 1 2 For x 2 substitute n = 2 in the function x
