Linear approximation :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{99.8}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=\sqrt{x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=100

OpenStudy (goformit100):

:) Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn hey can you check this out for me, i keep getting the wrong answer :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f'(a)=1/2sqrt(x)

hartnn (hartnn):

yup, good so far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(a)+f'(a)(x-a)\]

hartnn (hartnn):

a=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[10+\frac{ 1 }{ 20 }(x-100)\]

hartnn (hartnn):

x is 99.8 only

hartnn (hartnn):

because you are finding f(99.8) = f(x)

hartnn (hartnn):

so 10+(99.8-100)/20 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9.99

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10.01

hartnn (hartnn):

close enough to answer 9.989 no, 9.99 was correct

hartnn (hartnn):

10+(99.8-100)/20=9.99

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

damn why do i keep messing x up!

hartnn (hartnn):

with practice, you will be good at this :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks again @hartnn!
