Let f(x) =
(x − 1)2, g(x) = e−2x,
and h(x) = 1 + ln(1 − 2x).
(a) Find the linearizations
of f, g,
and h at
a = 0.
Lf (x) =
Lg(x) =
Lh(x) =
(b) Graph f, g,
and h and their linear approximations. For which
function is the linear approximation best? For which is it worst?
Explain.
The linear approximation appears to be the best for
the function ? f g h since it is
closer to ? f g h for a larger
domain than it is to - Select - f and g g and
h f and h . The approximation looks worst
for ? f g h since ? f g h moves
away from L faster...
