Function and numeric/diff problem help

Using the X and Y values below, write a MATLAB function SECOND_DERIV in MATLAB. The output of the function should be the approximate value for the second derivative of the data at x, the input variable of the function.

Use the forward difference method and interpolate (with interp1) to get your final answer.

X=[1,1.2,1.44,1.73,2.07,2.49,2.99,3.58,4.3,5.16,6.19,7.43,8.92,10.7,12.84,15.41,18.49];

Y=[18.89,19.25,19.83,20.71,21.96,23.6,25.56,27.52,28.67,27.2,19.38,-2.05,-50.9,-152.82,-354.73,-741.48,-1465.11];

This sounds like a homework assignment. If it is, show us the code you've written to try to solve the problem and ask a specific question about where you're having difficulty and we may be able to provide some guidance.

If you aren't sure where to start because you're not familiar with how to write MATLAB code, I suggest you start with the MATLAB Onramp tutorial (https://www.mathworks.com/support/learn-with-matlab-tutorials.html) to quickly learn the essentials of MATLAB.

If you aren't sure where to start because you're not familiar with the mathematics you'll need to solve the problem, I recommend asking your professor and/or teaching assistant for help.
