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
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).
