Linear Approximation/Differentials/mean Value Theorem Flashcards
1
Q
If these problems require a calculator..
A
I have made a mistake
2
Q
What is the formula for linear Approximation?
A
f(x_0+(delta x)=f(x_0)+f”(x_0)(delta x)
3
Q
Differentials
A
dy=f’(x)dx, so dy/dx=f’(x)
4
Q
Differentials
A
delta y= dy, find change in y and substitute appropriately into derivative
5
Q
Mean Value Theorem-If — is — on the closed interval [a,b] and differentiable on the open interval (a,b), then there is at least one point “c” in (a, b) such that
A
f, continuous, (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)=f’(c)
