29 1 Use linear approximation ie the tangent line to approxi


2-9 #1

Use linear approximation, i.e. the tangent line, to approximate\"\\sqrtas follows:
Let\"f(x). The equation of the tangent line to\"f(x)\"at\"xcan be written in the form\"ywhere\"m\"is:
and where\"b\"is:
Using this, we find our approximation for\"\\sqrtis
NOTE: For this part, give your answer to at least 9 significant figures or use fractions to give the exact answer.

Solution

m = 1/2/sqrt(x) = 1/2/5 = 1/10 f(25) = 5 y - 5 = 1/10(x-25) y-5 = 1/10 x - 5/2 c = 5/2 sqrt(25.2) = 5.02
