This seems like a "textbook-style" problem, and should probably therefore be in the homework section, even if it is not proper homework (at least this is what the moderators have said before).

Do you have a description of finite-difference methods in your textbook? It should explain how to define the discretized derivatives.

Well yes i have that:

But what about the magnitude of the errors and the excel part question\\/
