Midterm FAQ, continuedQues on
How should I study?
Answer
I The exam has problems; study by doing problems. If you getone right, think about how you got it right. If you got it wrongor didn’t get it at all, reread the textbook and do easierproblems to build up your understanding.
I Break up the material into chunks. (related) Don’t put it all offun l the night before.
I Ask ques ons.

ObjectivesI Use tangent lines to make linearapproxima ons to a func on.
I Given a func on and a point inthe domain, compute thelineariza on of the func on atthat point.
I Use lineariza on to approximatevalues of func ons
I Given a func on, compute thedifferen al of that func on
I Use the differen al nota on toes mate error in linearapproxima ons.

Why should we care?
Why use linear approxima ons dy when the actual difference∆y isknown?
I Linear approxima on is quick and reliable. Finding∆y exactlydepends on the func on.
I With more complicated func ons, linear approxima on muchsimpler. See the “Advanced Examples” later.

SummaryI Linear approxima on: If f is differen able at a, the best linearapproxima on to f near a is given by
Lf,a(x) = f(a) + f′(a)(x− a)
I Differen als: If f is differen able at x, a good approxima on to∆y = f(x+∆x)− f(x) is
∆y ≈ dy =dydx
· dx = dydx
