Curated OER

Differentiability and Linear Approximation

For Students Higher Ed
In this linear approximation worksheet, students determine the derivative of a function and explore properties of the error when using a tangent line to approximate a function graph. This two-page worksheet contains four problems.

Linear Approximation

For Teachers 9th - 12th Standards
Pupils practice examining the tangent to a function to estimate the value of the function near the point of tangency. They view errors associated with those approximations, determine overestimates and find intervals that guarantee a...
