Textbook Question

Chapter 4, Problem 8P

Use a centered difference approximation of O ( h 2 ) to estimate the second derivative of the function examined in Prob. 4.5. Perform the evaluation at x = 2 using step sizes of h = 0.25 and 0.125 . Compare your estimates with the true value of the second derivative. Interpret your results on the basis of the remainder term of the Taylor series expansion.
