Question
(a) Find the linear approximation to \(f(x)=\sqrt{25-x^{2}}\) near 3.
(b) Illustrate part (a) by graphing f and the linear approximation.
(c) For what values of x is the linear approximation accurate to within 0.1?
Solution
The first step in solving 3 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (a) Find the linear approximation to \(f(x)=\sqrt{25-x^{2}}\) near 3.(b) Illustrate part (a) by graphing f and the linear approximation.(c) For what values of x is the linear approximation accurate to within 0.1?
From the textbook chapter Differentiation Rules you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
