We went over this section last week and the professor only covered half of it. I've got most of the answers except how to calculate the percent error. The question is:
Use the following function to complete sections a-d.
f(x)= x / x+2 ; a=1; f(1.1)
I've gotten so far as to
a) f(x)~L(x)=(1/3)+(2/9)(x-1)
b) was graphing, I got the graph correct
c) f(1.1)~.356
everything above was correct, however part d) is computing the percent error. The formula is given 100*|(approx-exact)/exact|, I tried to compute it anyway and what I got and what the correct answer was were very different. Can anyone point me in the proper direction?
