Given h(2)=4 and h′(2)=−1, use linear approximation to find the estimated value of h(2.1).
Use linear approximations to estimate the value of . Choose an appropriate value of that minimizes the error.
A cyclist covers a distance of kilometers in a time that is seconds less than the standard time. Using the function , that gives the cyclist's speed (in meters per second) as a function of , where is the number of seconds more or less than the standard time for kilometers, calculate the cyclist's average speed.
