Homework Statement



Find the order of error of this numerical method:

[tex]f''(x_i+\frac{h}{2})\simeq \frac{\Delta ^2f_i}{h^2}[/tex]

Homework Equations



Taylor's theorem, Newton's interpolation polynomial and its error.

The Attempt at a Solution



I started from Taylor's expansion at x_i and x_i+1 but didn't get anywhere.
