The objective of this problem is to compare second-order accurate forward, backward, and centered finite-difference approximations of the first derivative of a function to the actual value of the derivative. This will be done for
(a) Use calculus to determine the correct value of the derivative at
(b) To evaluate the centered finite-difference approximations, start with. Thus, for the first evaluation, the x values for the
(c) Repeat part (b) for the second-order forward and backward differences. (Note that these can be done at the same time that the centered difference is computed in the loop.)
(d) Plot the results of (b) and (c) versus x. Include the exact result on the plot for comparison.

Don’t forget to include direction when called for by a vector variable 12) The air conditioner removes 2.7 kJ of heat from inside a house with 450 m3 of air in it. At a typical air density of 1.3 kg/m3 that means 585 kg of air. If the specific heat of air is 1.01 kJ/(kg oC), by how much would this cool the house if no heat got in through the rest of the house during that time?arrow_forward
