Differential Approximation
A method for approximating the value of a function near a known value. This method uses the tangent line at the
known value of the function to approximate the graph of the function. In this method, ∆𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∆𝑦 represent the changes in x
and y for the function, and dx and dy represents the changes in the x and y for the tangent line.
If y = f(x)
Then dy = f ’(x) dx
