Given f∈C3[0,1]f \in C^{3}[0,1], we approximate f′(13)f^{\prime}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) by the linear combination

T[f]=−53f(0)+43f(12)+13f(1)\mathcal{T}[f]=-\frac{5}{3} f(0)+\frac{4}{3} f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+\frac{1}{3} f(1)

By finding the Peano kernel, determine the least constant cc such that

∣T[f]−f′(13)∣≤c∥f′′′∥∞.\left|\mathcal{T}[f]-f^{\prime}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\right| \leq c\left\|f^{\prime \prime \prime}\right\|_{\infty} .
