i keep getting the "index exceeds the number of array elements" error on my code it worked fine when i set the step size to 40 but when i change it to 20 i get the error.

The number of elements in the vector F is one less than that of the vector X. Fix that.

The line of code: dFForward=(F(2:n)-F(1:n-1))/h; looks for F ranging from 2:n. n is 27, length(F) is 26. You've requested the 27th element of a 26 element array.
X=0:20:520;
F=[0 139 298 433 685 1026 1279 1373 1490 1634 1800 1986 2417 2651 2915 3303 3516 3860 4216 4630 5092 5612 6184 6760 7327 7581];
n=length(X)
disp(length(F))
