Derivatives
You are responsible for calculating the following derivatives:
- Polynomial: \(ax^3+bx^2+cx+d\) (arbitrary power)
- \(a\sin(bx)\)
- \(a\cos(bx)\)
- \(ae^{bx}\)
- \(a\ln(bx)\)
- Product Rule: \(\frac{d}{dx}f(x)g(x)=f(x)g^\prime(x)+f^\prime(x)g(x)\)
Lecture 17
The topic for Lecture 17 is numerical differentiation. This topic will NOT be on Test 2 and the material is taken from the Chapra and Canale textbook
Forward finite-divided-difference formulas

Backward finite-divided-difference formulas

Centered finite-divided-difference formulas
