Find the linear approximation that is represented by L(x) for the function:

f(x)= (1+x)^6 at x=0

What does the Error formula give as a rough estimate for the error at x=0.1

Respuesta :

[tex]f(x)=(1+x)^6\implies f'(x)=6(1+x)^5\implies f'(0)=6[/tex]

At [tex]x=0[/tex], you get [tex]f(0)=(1+0)^6=1[/tex], so the tangent line to [tex]f[/tex] at this point is

[tex]y-1=6(x-0)\implies y=6x+1[/tex]

which suggests [tex]f(0.1)\approx6\times0.1+1=1.6[/tex]
