Tutorial Sheet-9: (Numerical Differentiation & Integration)
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 − 𝑎)
𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 = (𝑏 − 𝑎)𝑓(𝑎) + 𝑓 (𝜉), 𝜉 ∈ (𝑎, 𝑏)

and hence write the composite rule with error terms.
4. Find 𝑥 , 𝐴 , 𝐴 , 𝛼 so that the following integration rule is exact for a polynomial of
degree as high as possible ∫ √𝑥𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 = 𝐴 𝑓 + 𝐴 𝑓( 𝑥 ) + 𝛼𝑓 (𝜉), 𝜉 ∈ (0,1).
5. Find 𝑥 , 𝑥 , 𝐴 , 𝐴 , 𝛼 so that the following rule is exact for all polynomials of degree as
high as possible
∫ 𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 = 𝐴 𝑓(𝑥 ) + 𝐴 𝑓( 𝑥 ) + 𝛼𝑓 ( ) (𝜉), 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝜉 ∈ (−1,1).
