Answer:

a) f(x) = 4 - x²

The linear approximation of the function at a=1 is

L(x) = 5 - 2x at a = 1

b) The graph of the function and the linear approximation at that point is attached to this solution.

The curve represent the real function,

f(x) = 4 - x²

The straight line represents the linear approximation of the function at a=1.

L(x) = 5 - 2x

The curve and the function evidently cross paths at x=1 and understandably so.

c) Using the linear approximation obtained at a = 1.

f(1.1) = 2.8

Using the actual function, the actual value of f(1.1) = 2.79

d) Percent error = 0.358%

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4 - x²

a) The linear approximation of the function at the given point is given as

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

f(x) = 4 - x²

a = 1

f(a) = 4 - 1² = 3

f'(x) = -2x

f'(a) = -2(1) = -2

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

L(x) = 3 + (-2)(x - 1)

L(x) = 3 -2x + 2

L(x) = 5 - 2x

L(x) = -2x + 5

f(x) = 4 - x²

L(x) = 5 - 2x at a = 1

b) The graph of the function and the linear approximation at that point is attached to this solution.

The curve represent the real function,

f(x) = 4 - x²

The straight line represents the linear approximation of the function at a=1.

L(x) = 5 - 2x

The curve and the function evidently cross paths at x=1 and understandably so.

c) Use the linear approx. to estimate the given fxn value.

f(1.1)

L(x) = 5 - 2x

L(1.1) = 5 - 2(1.1) = 2.8

Using the function, the actual value of f(1.1) = 4 - 1.1² = 2.79

d) Compute the percent error in your approximation, 100*Iapprox-exactI/IexactI, where the exact value is given by a calculator

Percent error

= 100% × (|approx - exact|)/exact

Approximated value = 2.8

Exact value = 2.79

Percent error = 100% × (2.8-2.79)/2.79

Percent error = 0.358%

Hope this Helps!!!

8.129
8.219
8.3
8.37

Always go from left to right as compare the values in the tenth, then hundredths, then thousandths place. Remember that if there is no digit, it is a 0 (after the decimal of course).

What are the values of x and y
Gelneren [198K]

Unfortunately, there is no way I can find the value of X and Y because there is no question for it.

You can either find the value of X and Y in the problem or make X and Y your own value if you need to find something that is equivalent.

I hope this helped.
