1 The table shows some values of x, together with the associated values of a function, f(x).
x 1.9 2 2.1
f(x) 0.5842 0.6309 0.6753
(a) Use the information in the table to calculate the most accurate estimate of f '(2) possible. [2]
(b) Calculate an estimate of the error when f(2) is used as an estimate of f(2.05). [2]
2 You are given that a = tanh(1) and b = tanh(2).
A is the approximation to a formed by rounding tanh(1) to 1 decimal place.
B is the approximation to b formed by rounding tanh(2) to 1 decimal place.
(a) Calculate the following.
• The relative error RA when A is used to approximate a.
•
The relative error RB when B is used to approximate b. [3]
A a
(b) Calculate the relative error RC when C = is used to approximate c = . [2]
B b
(c) Comment on the relationship between RA , RB and RC . [1]
