1. (1 point) The linear approximation at x = 0 to f (x) = 3. (1 point) Use linear approximation, i.e. the tangent line,
1 1
√ is to approximate as follows:
7−x 0.254
L(x) = A + Bx 1
Let f (x) = and find the equation of the tangent line in slope-
where x
intercept form to f (x) at a ”nice” point near 0.254.
A= 1
B= Then use this to approximate .
0.254
2. (1 point) √
Use linear approximation, i.e. the tangent line, √
to approximate 64.1 as follows: 4. (1 point) Let y = 4 x.
√
Let f (x) = x. Find the change in y, ∆y when x = 2 and ∆x = 0.1
The equation of the tangent line in slope-intercept form to f (x) Find the differential dy when x = 2 and dx = 0.1
at x = 64 can be written in the form y = mx + b where:
5. (1 point) Let y = 4x2 + 3x + 3.
m=
Find the differential dy when x = 5 and dx = 0.1
b= √ Find the differential dy when x = 5 and dx = 0.2
Using this, we find our approximation for 64.1 is
NOTE: For this last part, give your answer to at least 6 signifi- 6. (1 point) Let y = tan(3x + 8).
cant figures or use fractions to give the exact answer. Find the differential dy when x = 4 and dx = 0.1
