Slide3Linearization of a Function at a Point x = af(x) (a, f(a)) f(x) – f(a) = f ’(a)(x – a) Linearization Demonstration

Slide4Find the equation of the line tangent to

Slide5Use the linearization ofto find f( 2.1 )

Slide6Find f(-3.1) using the local linearization of

Slide7the local linear approximation of a function f will always be greaterthan or equal to the function’s value if, for all x in an interval containing the point of tangency, a) f ‘ < 0 b) f ‘ > 0 c) f” < 0 d) f” > 0 e) f ‘ = f “ = 0
