worksheet 7 on 3/26/19

using linear approximation find value of ln(e+0.1)

Expert Solution
Step 1

To calculate the value of ln(e2+0.1) by using linear approximation method. Now, first find the function then calculate then the slope of the function and substitute the value of slope in the formula of linear approximation then solve it further.

Step 2

According to formula of linear approximation, if the function f(x) is differentiable at the point x=a then the equation of line L which is tangent to the function f(x) at the point x=a is defined below,
