Problem 1: Consider some arbitrary function f(x), whose value and whose derivative values of every order
are already known at some point ro. We can approximate the function value f (x) with f(xo)+f'(ro)(x– xo)
for points a that are very close to xo.
(a) Justify this "linear" approximation using the graphical interpretation of the derivative. Because this
is an approximation, there will be a discrepancy between the actual f(x) and our approximation – call
this g(x), and write down an expression for f(x) including g(x). (The approximation is called linear
due to how the (x – xo) term is first-order.) You may use the graph of f(x) = e", with your own choice
of ro, as an illustrative example.
