Use the forward difference formulas and back

difference at each point
X 0.5 0.6 0.7
F(x) 0.4794 0.5646 0.6442
h=0.1

at x=0.5

forward difference formula

. .
f/(0.5)= =0.852
.

∗ . ∗ .
Er= = =0.024

the exact error is =0.87758-0.852=0.02558

backward difference formula

. .
f/(0.5)= =0.9
.

∗ . ∗ .
Er= = =0.024

The exact error=0.87758-0.9=-0.022242

at x=0.6

forward difference formula

. .
f/(0.6)= =0.796
.

∗ . ∗ .
Er= = =0.02823

The exact error is =0.82533-0.796=0.02933

backward difference formula

∗ . ∗ .
Er= = =0.02823

The exact error is =0.82533-0.852=-0.02667
