Need help with linear approximation

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dmitrij [34]3 years ago
5 0
Consider a function f(x), the linear approximation L(x) of f(x) is given by

L(x)=f(a)+(x-a)f'(a)

Given the quantity: \frac{1}{203}

We approximate the quantity using the function f(x)= \frac{1}{x}, where x = 203.

We choose a = 200, thus the linear approximation is given as follows:

L(203)=f(200)+(203-200)f'(200) \\  \\ = \frac{1}{200} - \frac{3}{200^2} = \frac{200-3}{200^2} = \frac{197}{40,000} =0.004925

Liono4ka [1.6K]
5/20 can also be represented as 25/100 or 25%. The can be done by multiplying the top and bottom both by 5 and then dividing our numerator (25) by our denominator(100) to get the %.
