Questions and Answers

What is the simplest method for estimating the derivative of a mathematical function using finite difference approximations?

  • Applying forward interpolation techniques
  • Employing backward differentiation formulas
  • Computing the slope of a nearby secant line through two points (correct)
  • Using the value of the function at a single point

    • In numerical differentiation, what does 'h' represent in the context of finite difference approximations?

  • The limit of the difference quotient
  • A small change in x (correct)
  • The slope of the tangent line
  • The value of the function at a specific point

    • What is the Newton's difference quotient?

  • The slope of a nearby secant line through two points
  • The slope of the tangent line
  • The limit of the value of the difference quotient as the secant lines get closer to being a tangent line (correct)
  • The value of the function at a specific point
