Employ Eq. (23.9) to determine the first derivative of y = 2x4 6x3 12x

Question:

Employ Eq. (23.9) to determine the first derivative of y = 2x4 – 6x3 – 12x – 8 at x = 0 based on values at x0 = –0.5, x1= 1, and x2 = 2. Compare this result with the true value and with an estimate obtained using a centered difference approximation based on h = 1.
