Well, We do know the height, but we don't have any type of polynomial ruling the motion... That was what I meant, using the word function was a mistake :)
I'm sorry

Yep, that's what I mean. You have to be able to compute (or measure off of a graph, or something) [itex]f(x+\Delta x )[/itex] and [itex]f(x-\Delta x)[/itex] in order to use those approximations.
