1. **Analytical Solution:**
The first derivative of the function \( f(x) = 2 - e^{3x} \) can be found analytically. Let's denote it
as \( f'(x) \).
\[ f(x) = 2 - e^{3x} \]
\[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(2 - e^{3x}) = 0 - 3e^{3x} = -3e^{3x} \]
From the table, it's evident that the central finite difference method provides the closest
approximation to the exact value, with the least relative error.
