Approximate Error: Present Approx - Previous Approx Example: F (X) F (X) (2) ? 0,3 0.15

The document discusses approximating the derivative of a function f(x) = 7e^0.5x at x = 2 using finite differences. It shows calculating the derivative with step sizes of 0.3 and 0.15, getting approximations of 10.265 and 9.8799, respectively. It then calculates the approximate error as the difference between these approximations.

Approximate Error : Ea = Present Approx – Previous Approx

Example :

f (x+∆ x)– f (x)


f(x) ≃
∆x
f(x) = 7 e 0,5 x

f '(2) = ?
∆ x = 0,3
∆ x = 0.15

f (2+ ∆ x) – f (x)
f '(2) ≃
∆x
∆ x = 0,3
f (2+ 0.3) – f (2)
f '(2) ≃
0.3
f (2 .3)– f ( 2)
=
0.3

7 e0,5(2,3) −7 e0,5(2)
=
0,3
= 10.265

∆ x = 0,15
f (2+ 0.15) – f (2)
f '(2) ≃
0.15
f (2 .15) – f ( 2)
=
0.15

7 e0,5 (2,15)−7 e0,5 (2)


=
0,15
= 9.8799

Ea = Present Approx – Previous Approx

= 9.88799 – 10.265

= -0,38474
