Topic 4.6: Approximating Values of a Function Using Local Linearity and Linearization
Learning Objective: CHA-3.F
Approximate a value on a curve using the equation of a tangent line.
Essential Knowledge: CHA-3.F.1
The tangent line is the graph of a locally linear approximation of the function near the point of tangency.
Essential Knowledge: CHA-3.F.2
For a tangent line approximation, the function’s behavior near the point of tangency may determine whether a tangent line value is an underestimate or an overestimate of the corresponding function value.
