1. Find the values of 𝑓 ′ (1.7) and 𝑓 ′′ (5) from the following data, using Newton’s divided difference
formula:
𝑥 0 1 2.5 3 4.5 5 6
𝑦 2 5.4375 7.3516 7.5625 8.4453 9.1875 12

for the following tabulated data:
𝑥 0 1 2.5 3 4.5 5 6
𝑦 2 5.4375 7.3516 7.5625 8.4453 9.1875 12
3. The concentration of pollutant bacteria 𝑐 in a lake decreases according to 𝑐 = 77𝑒 −1.5𝑡 + 20𝑒 −0.08𝑡 .
Using three iterations of Newton-Raphson method with an initial guess of 𝑡 = 3.2 determine the time
required for the bacteria conentration to be reduced to 15.
