Use a centered difference approximation of O(h2) to estimate the second derivative of the function examined in Prob. 4.12. Perform the evaluation at x = 2 using step sizes of h = 0.25 and 0.125. Compare your estimates with the true value of the second derivative. Interpret your results on the basis of the remainder term of the Taylor series expansion.
