Answer

a)0.41 b)0.4 c)0.01

Work Step by Step

a) we need to find change which is f(x0+dx)-f(x0). f(x)= x^2+2x x0=1 dx=0.1 f(1+0.1)-f(1)= (1.1^2+2*1.1)- (1^2+2*1)= 0.41 b) value of estimate equals to derirative of f df= f'(x0)dx df= (2x+2)dx at x0=1 df= 4* 0.1 =0.4 answer 0.4 c) approximation error is (the change - value of estimate) Change in f -df Change in f = 0.41 (look a variant) df= 0.4 (look b variant) So 0.41-0.4 = 0.01 0.01 is error.
