Need help with numerical differentiation and integration

1 view (last 30 days)
I am frustrated with MATLAB as i really don't understand how to the following, i have been given a data file which has sets x and y then:
1. i need to construct the taylor estimator for second derivative of f(x)assuming 5 consecutive points are known which are (f(xi-2), f(xi-1), f(xi), (fxi+1), f(xi+2))
2.compute a table with the estimate second derivative applied to points in data set.
3.interpolate the estimate of the second derivative
please help with these steps I don't know how to do any of them

I think it is not MATLAB you should be frustrated with, but yourself. If you don't understand what you need to do, then you won't be able to see how to solve it. Regardless, it is time to start trying things. Take baby steps, but make an effort. You won't learn unless you try.
