Problem Solving: Show complete step by step solutions:

1. Consider the function f(x) = 2x/x. Calculate the second derivative at x=2 numerically with three-point central
difference formula using, points x=1.8, x=2 and x=2.2. Compare the results with the exact (analytical) derivative.
2. The distribution of the x-component of the velocity u of a fluid bear a flat surface is measured as a function of the
distance y from the surface:

The shear stress tyx in the fluid is described by Newton’s equation:

where μ is the coefficient of dynamic viscosity. The viscosity can be thought of as a measure of the internal friction
within the fluid. Fluids that obey Newton’s equation are called Newtonian fluids. Calculate the shear stress at y=0
using the (i) the two-point forward, and the (ii) the three-point forward approximation for the derivative. Take μ=
0.002 N-s/m2

b, and the middle point (a +b)/2. Derive a new formula for the Simpson’s 1/3 method in which the points used for
the integration are x=a, x=b and x= (a+b)/3
