Example
Using Taylor's theorem about h=0,
the derivative of f(x) is given by
If the initial approximations of the derivative are chosen to be
then ki = i+1.
For t = 2, the first formula extrapolated for A would be
For the new approximation
we can extrapolate again to obtain

Famous quotes containing the word example:
“Our intellect is not the most subtle, the most powerful, the most appropriate, instrument for revealing the truth. It is life that, little by little, example by example, permits us to see that what is most important to our heart, or to our mind, is learned not by reasoning but through other agencies. Then it is that the intellect, observing their superiority, abdicates its control to them upon reasoned grounds and agrees to become their collaborator and lackey.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
