Sample Problem 2: Determine the absolute error and relative error when approximating the derivative of f(x) = -x² + 5x at x=2 using the approximation formula, f'(x) = f(x+h)-f(x) h with h=0.1 Solution: The approximation formula represents the approximated value while the true value is simply the derivative f'(x) at x=2. AV: f'(x) = f(x + h) − f (x) _ [-(x + 0.1)² +5(x + 0.1)] - [-x² + 5x] h 0.1 f'(x) =L-(2 +0.1)? +5(2 + 0.1)] −{-(2)? +5(2)] 0.1 f'(2) = 6.09 - 6 0.1 = 0.9 TV: f'(x) = -2x+5 f'(2) = -2(2) +5=1 Thus, ε = 10.9 = 0.1 0.1 Er == 0.1

What is the greatest value of h that can be Use the formula in approximating the derivative

 (same as Sample Problem 2) of


f(x) = 2x³- 3x + 1 at x=1 using h=0.5 Compute the absolute and relative errors

Ps. The picture below is Sample Prob. 2 you can base your solution there

Sample Problem 2:
Determine the absolute error and relative error when approximating the derivative of f(x) = -x² + 5x at
x=2 using the approximation formula,
f'(x) =
f(x+h)-f(x)
h
with h=0.1
Solution: The approximation formula represents the approximated value while the true value is simply
the derivative f'(x) at x=2.
AV:
f(x + h) = f(x) _ [−(x + 0.1)² + 5(x + 0.1)] - [-x² + 5x]
f'(x) =
h
