Lesson 9: 3.10 Linear Approximation and Differentials
Duration of Days: 1
Lesson Objective
Students will be able to apply Linear Approximation when finding a derivative is difficult or impossible.
1. How can we approximate the slope of a tangent line to a function when we can not find the derivative?
- linear approximation
- linearization of f at a
- relative error
(Differentiation Rules)
Linear Approximation:
DOK levels 1-3
Derivatives as rates of change, such as velocity, etc.
