1/4.002 Use a linear approximation to estimate the given number. Can you review this for accuracy? If I've made an error please show every step of the correct answer. Here's what I have:
f(x) = 1/x= x-1
f'(x) = - 1/x2
x = 4.002
a = 4
f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x - a)
L(4.002) = f(4) + (-1/42)(4.002 - 4)
= 1/4 + (- 1/16)(0.002)
= 1/4 - 0.000125
= 0.249875
Thank you!
