Exercise 4 - Three-point backward difference formula for the first derivative Consider the function f(x) = 5x4 - 4x3 +3x2 -x + 10. Calculate its first derivative at point x = 3 numerically with the three-point backward difference formula and using: a) Points x=1, x=2, and x=3. b) Points x=2, x=2.5, and x=3. c) Compare the results with the exact (analytical) derivative.
