3 Linearization of a Function at a Point x = a
Linearization Demonstration Linearization of a Function at a Point x = a f(x) (a, f(a)) f(x) – f(a) = f ’(a)(x – a)

4 Find the equation of the line tangent to

5 Use the linearization of
to find f(2.1)

6 Find f(-3.1) using the local linearization of

7 The local linear approximation of a function f will always be greater
than or equal to the function’s value if, for all x in an interval containing the point of tangency, f ‘ < 0 f ‘ > 0 f” < 0 f” > 0 f ‘ = f “ = 0
