3. In the following, assume \( f : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) has 3 continuous derivatives. A common usage of Taylor’s theorem is to construct finite difference schemes for approximating the derivatives of \( f \). Let’s take a look at some basic problems in this vein:
(a) Let \( x \in \mathbb{R} \) and \( h > 0 \). Show that there exist constants \( M_1, M_2 \), possibly depending on \( x, h, \) and \( f \) and its derivatives, such that
\[
M_1 h \leq \left( f'(x) - \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} \right) \leq M_2 h
\]
This shows the “first-order accuracy” of the forward-difference approximation.
*(Hint: Use Taylor’s theorem for \( x, x+h \))*
(b) Let \( x \in \mathbb{R} \) and \( h > 0 \). Show that there exist constants \( M_3, M_4 \), possibly depending on \( x, h, \) and \( f \) and its derivatives, such that
\[
M_3 h^2 \leq \left( f'(x) - \frac{f(x+h) - f(x-h)}{2h} \right) \leq M_4 h^2
\]
This shows the “second-order accuracy” of the centered-difference approximation.
*(Hint: Use Taylor’s theorem for \( x, x+h \) and \( x, x-h \))*
(c) Let \( k \in \mathbb{R} \), and let \( f(x) := \sin(kx) \). Show that for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \) and \( h > 0 \),
\[
\left| f'(x) - \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} \right| \leq \frac{k^2 h}{2}
\]
\[
\left| f'(x) - \frac{f(x+h) - f(x-h)}{2h} \right| \leq \frac{k^3 h^2}{3}
\]
