Linear Approximations
In this section we will look at an application not of derivatives but of the tangent line to a function. Certainly, to get the tangent line we do have to take derivatives, thus in some way this is an application of derivatives as well.
Given a function, f ( x ) , we can determine its tangent at x = a . The equation of the tangent line, that we'll call L ( x ) for this discussion, is,
L ( x ) = f ( a ) + f ′ ( a ) ( x - a )
Take a look at the given graph of a function & its tangent line.
From the graph we can illustrates that near x = a the tangent line & the function have closely the similar graph. On instance we will utilizes the tangent line, L ( x ) , as an approximation to the function, f ( x ) , near x = a . In these cases we call the tangent line the linear approximation to the function at x = a .
Optimization : In this section we will learn optimization problems. In optimization problems we will see for the largest value or the smallest value which a function can take.
Two boats leave the same port at the same time. One travels at a constant speed of 30 km/hr at a bearing of 50° and the other on a bearing of 110° at a constant speed of 26 km/hr.
Calculate the area and perimeter of a square: Calculate the area and perimeter of a square with w = 5´ and l = 6´. Be sure to involved units in your answer. Solution:
Two sessions of swimming lessons were held at a pool. In the first session 40 students attended. Of these 40 students 60% were girls. How many girls attended the first session of s
What is Slope of a Line ? A line can have a "steep" slope or a "gradual" slope. slope = rise/run The "rise" is the distance going up or down. The "run" is the distance goin
