The figure shows how a function
f(x) and its linear approximation
(i.e., its tangent line) change value
when a changes from to
to + dx.
Suppose f(x) = x² + 6x,
*₁ = 3 and dx = 0.05. Your
answers below need to be very
precise, so use many decimal
places.
(a) Find the change
Af = f(xo + dx) - f(xo).
Af = 0
(b) Find the estimate (i.e., the
differential) df = f'(x) dx.
df =
(c) Find the approximation error
