{Use of Tech} Maximum error Use the remainder term to find a bound on the error in the following approximations on the given interval. Error bounds are not unique.


√(1+x) ≈ 1 + x/2 on [−0.1,0.1]

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the function to approximate: \(f(x) = \sqrt{1+x}\).
Recognize that the given approximation \(1 + \frac{x}{2}\) is the first-degree Taylor polynomial of \(f(x)\) centered at \(x=0\).
Recall the Lagrange form of the remainder (error) term for the Taylor polynomial of degree 1: \(R_1(x) = \frac{f^{\prime\prime}(c)}{2!} x^2\) for some \(c\) between 0 and \(x\).
Compute the second derivative of \(f(x)\): first, \(f'(x) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1+x}}\), then \(f''(x) = -\frac{1}{4(1+x)^{3/2}}\).
Find the maximum absolute value of \(f''(c)\) on the interval \([-0.1, 0.1]\) to bound the error, then use it in the remainder formula \(|R_1(x)| \leq \frac{\max|f''(c)|}{2} x^2\) to get the error bound.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Taylor Polynomial Approximation

A Taylor polynomial approximates a function near a point using derivatives at that point. For √(1+x), the linear approximation at x=0 is 1 + x/2, derived from the function's value and first derivative. This approximation is accurate close to the center point.

Remainder Term (Lagrange Error Bound)

The remainder term estimates the error between the actual function and its Taylor polynomial. The Lagrange form uses the (n+1)th derivative evaluated at some point in the interval to bound the error, ensuring the approximation's accuracy within a specified range.

Error Bound on a Closed Interval

To find the maximum error on [−0.1,0.1], evaluate the maximum absolute value of the relevant derivative on this interval. This maximum derivative value, combined with the remainder formula, provides a guaranteed upper bound on the approximation error.
