I have a function F(x)=x^2 + x - 10, how can I creat code for forward, back ward and central finite difference approximation of the slope ? I don't know where can I start.

Start buy defining the function...
fnF=@(x)x.^2 + x - 10;
Then you have to evaluate the function over whatever range of x you're interested in before doing differences of any sort.

Hello,
I have used forward finite difference approximation to design the following code for the purpose.
h=0.1; % step's size
N=10; % number of steps
y(1)=-10;
for n=1:20
y(n+1)= y(n)+h*(4*y(n) + 41)^(0.5);
end
x = -1:0.1:1.1;
plot(x,y);
Hope it helps
