`"Prove that "lim_(hrarr0) (f(x+h)+f(x-h)-2f(x))/(h^(2))=f''(x)" (without using L' Hospital's rule)".`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`f''(x)=underset(hrarr0)lim(f'(x+h)-f'(x))/(h)`
`=underset(hrarr0)lim(underset(krarr0)lim[(f(x+h+k)-f(x+h))/(k)-(f(x+k)-f(x))/(k)])/(h)`
Let `k=-h.` Then.
`f''(x)=-underset(hrarr0)lim(f(x)-f(x+h)-f(x-h)+f(x))/(h^(2))`
`=underset(hrarr0)lim(f(x+h)+f(x-h)-2f(x))/(h^(2))`
