Question: Using Linear Approximation, estimate f for a change in x from x = a to x = b . f ( x ) = x

Using Linear Approximation, estimate f for a change in x from x=a to x=b.
f(x)=x14,a=81,b=81.4
Consider the work to estimate f.
f'(x)=14x-34
f'(a)=14*81-34=1108
f~~f'(a)x=1108(-0.4)=-0.00370
Identify the first error in the estimate of f.
The value of f'(a) should be f'(a)=6.75.
The change in x should be x=0.4.
The value of f'(a) should be f'(a)=-6.75.
The derivative of f should be x-34.
The derivative of f should be 14x34.Using Linear Approximation, estimate f.
