Use forward and backward difference approximations of O(h) and a centered difference approximation of O(h2) to estimate the first derivative of the function examined in Prob. 4.12. Evaluate the derivative at x = 2 using a step size of h = 0.2. Compare your results with the true value of the derivative. Interpret your results on the basis of the remain­der term of the Taylor series expansion.
