Document Summary

2. 8 linear approximations and di erentials notes: sterling. Provide a generalization to each of the key terms listed in this section. L (x) f (a) (x a) + f (a) Let"s say that you have a function, which is normally f (x), that"s di erentiable at the a point, which can be labeled with a. When it comes to any estimation methods, then there is an error is actually being committed; the absolute error of a linear approximation is the exact estimation minus the approximated estimation, which can be explained the following: Approximation = f (a) (x a) + f (a) Ae = e (x) = exact approximation. Ae = e (x) = f (x) [f (a) (x a) + f (a)] If the estimation error, which is e(x), is greater than 0, which can be expressed with e(x) > 0, then that means that the approximation would be an underestimation.
