1. Use the most accurate three-point formula to determine each missing entry in the following
tables.

x f px q f 1 px q x f px q f 1 px q
-0.3 -0.27652 7.4 -68.3193
(a) -0.2 -0.25074 (b) 7.6 -71.6982

2. The data in Exercise 5 were taken from the following functions. Compute the actual errors
in Exer- cise 5, and find error bounds using the error formulas.

(a) e2x  cos 2x (b) lnpx 2q  p x 1q2

3. Use the values in the table below to approximate f 1 p0.900q, where f pxq  sin x. The true
value is cos 0.900  0.62161. Use h  0.001, 0.005, 0.01. The floating-point accuracy of given
data is 5 digits. Compare the errors for different h. What will be the optimal h? (Hint:
Remember the error estimate obtained in terms of h and ε- the maximum round-off error.)
