May 14, 2016 · Now this is where the idea of linear approximations come from -- so that it is a linear function that is the approximation, and not its derivative. Once again therefore, the derivative is not …

Oct 22, 2016 · I know how to take linear approximations with one variable by taking the derivative, but I am a bit lost on how to do this with two variables (partial differentiation I think).

Oct 18, 2019 · Here is the problem Using linear approximation, determine the maximum absolute relative error for the function: $f (x,y,z) = \frac {−4⋅x^3⋅z} {y^3}$ at (1,3,2 ...

I never actually had to do 2D linear approximations, which probably would have been useful in knowing that I'm supposed to multiply not by x, but by the difference between x and x_0 (or whatever you …
