Formulas and Key Relations
Linear Approximation and Differentials (Single Variable)
Formula
L(x) = f(x₀) + f'(x₀)(x - x₀) represents the tangent line at point x₀
Partial Derivatives
Geometrically, ∂f/∂x|(x₀,y₀) is the slope of the tangent line to the curve f(x,y₀) at x = x₀
Linear Approximation and Differentials (Multiple Variables)
Linear approximation for 2 variables gives equation of tangent plane to surface z = f(x,y)
