Question:
Suppose f(x) = 1/(1 + x) is to be approximated near x = 0. Find the linear approximation to f at 0. Then complete the following table showing the errors in various approximations. Use a calculator to obtain the exact values. The percent error is 100|approximation - exact|/|exact|. Comment on the behavior of the errors as x approaches 0.
