Let f be a differentiable function with f(3)=2 and f′(3)=−4. What is the value of the approximation of f(3.1) using the function's local linear approximation at x=3?
Q. Let f be a differentiable function with f(3)=2 and f′(3)=−4. What is the value of the approximation of f(3.1) using the function's local linear approximation at x=3?
Identify values: Identify the given values.f(a)=f(a)f′(a)=f′(a)
Write formula:Step 2: Write the formula for the local linear approximation.L(x)=f(a)+f′(a)(x−a)
Substitute values:Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula.L(x)=f(a)+f′(a)(x−a)
Simplify expression:Step 4: Simplify the expression.L(x)=f(a)+f′(a)(x−a)
