Question:

Use a CAS to estimate the magnitude of the error in using the linearization in place of the function over a specified interval I. Perform the following steps:


a. Plot the function ƒ over I.


b. Find the linearization L of the function at the point a.


c. Plot ƒ and L together on a single graph.


d. Plot the absolute error |ƒ(x) - L(x)| over I and find its maximum value.


e. From your graph in part (d), estimate as large a δ > 0 as you can, satisfyingimage


for ϵ = 0.5, 0.1, and 0.01. Then check graphically to see if your δ-estimate holds true.image
