Help with every problem would be greatly apperciated. (20 pts) Problem 2(Alternative derivations of finite-difference schemes)
Suppose that in the neighborhood of the points xi=0,xi+1=x, and xi+2=2x, the scalar u(x)
is represented by a second degree polynomial of the form
u(x)=a+bx+cx2
Using the formula above, derive the following upwind (one-sided) schemes
(i)u'(xi)=ui'=-3ui+4ui+1-ui+22x,
(ii)u''(xi)=ui''=ui+2-2ui+1+uix2.

(20 pts) Problem 3
Consider the finite differencing scheme to calculate the first derivative of a quantity u at a certain
point
ui'=ui+1-ui-12x
Suppose that the measurements tilde(u)i+1,tilde(u)i-1, and widetilde(x) and their corresponding uncertainties tilde(u)i+1,
tilde(u)i-1, and widetilde(x) are available.
(i) Using the first-order analysis based on Taylor series expansion, find the fractional uncertainty
tilde(u)i'|tilde(u)i'|=f(tilde(u)i+1,tilde(u)i-1,(widetilde(x)),tilde(u)i+1,tilde(u)i-1,(widetilde(x)))
(ii) Find the numerical value of the fractional uncertainty given the following data: tilde(u)i+1=2.1,
tilde(u)i-1=1.1,widetilde(x)=0.005,tilde(u)i+1=0.01,tilde(u)i-1=0.01,widetilde(x)=0.001
