Textbook Question
Chapter 23, Problem 18P
Use the diff command in MATLAB and compute the finite-difference approximation to the first and second derivative at each x-value in the table below, excluding the two end points. Use finite-difference approximations that are second-order correct,
x | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
y | 1.4 | 2.1 | 3.3 | 4.8 | 6.8 | 6.6 | 8.6 | 7.5 | 8.9 | 10.9 | 10 |

The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $31 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $39 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday selling season is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of 60,000 dolls with a standard deviation of 15,000.
