Exercise
Find an approximate value of
Final Answer
Solution
We will use the 2-variable linear approximation formula
Therefore, we need to define the following
And place them in the formula. x and y will be the numbers that appear in the question, and the points
will be the closest values to x and y respectively, which are easy for calculations.
In our exercise, we will define
because these values appear in the question. And we set
because they are the closest values to x and y respectively that are easy for calculations.
After we have defined x and y, it is easy to find the function. Just put x instead of the number we set to be x and put y instead of the number we set to be y. In this way, we get the function
In the formula above we see the function partial derivatives. Hence, we calculate them.
We put all the data in the formula and get
