Tutorial-9

1. Using Newton forward divided difference formula, compute first derivative for the
tabulated function:

𝑥 1 2 3 4
𝑓(𝑥) 2 5 7 10

2. Given the values of empirical function 𝑓(𝑥) for certain value of 𝑥


𝑥 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8 2.0
𝑓(𝑥) 0.0000 0.1280 0.5440 1.2960 2.4320 4.0000

Find the first and second derivatives of the function 𝑓(𝑥) at the point 𝑥 = 1.1.

3. Derive the rectangular rule with the error term


𝑏 (𝑏−𝑎)2
∫𝑎 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑑𝑥 = (𝑏 − 𝑎) 𝑓(𝑎) + 𝑓 ′ (𝜉), 𝜉 ∈ (𝑎, 𝑏)
2

and hence write the composite rule with error terms.

4. Find 𝑥1, 𝐴0 , 𝐴1 , 𝛼 so that the following integration rule is exact for a


polynomial of degree as high as possible
1 1 ′′′
∫0 √𝑥 𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 = 𝐴0 𝑓 (3) + 𝐴1 𝑓(𝑥1 ) + 𝛼 𝑓 (𝜉), 𝜉 ∈ (0,1).

5. Find 𝑥0, , 𝑥1,


𝐴0 , 𝐴1 , and 𝛼 so that the following rule is exact for all polynomials
of degree as high as possible
1
∫−1 𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 = 𝐴0 𝑓(𝑥0 ) + 𝐴1 𝑓(𝑥1 ) + 𝛼 𝑓 (4) (𝜉), for some 𝜉 ∈ (−1,1).
