Question

use linear approximation to estimate the given number. a.) 2.001^5
b.) tan44degrees

Answer 1

32.08

Answer 2

.96

Answer 3

how did u do that?

Answer 4

@anliker - I answered the how on your previous post of the 2.001^5 question. Use the same method for the tan(44 degrees)

Answer 5

For tan(44), your function f(x)=tan(x), f'(x)=sec^2(x), x=44, a=45.

Answer 6

thank you very much.
