Problem 16. Use linear approximation, ie. the tangentne, to approximate
√(36.1) as follows:
f(x) \: at \: x = 36The equation of the tangent ine in slope-intercept form to can be written in the form y=mx +b where:Using this, we find our approximation for
√(36.1)for last part give 6 significant figures or fractions

y = mx + b

I don't understand the question

Do you have a picture of it?

y =

x = 36 and b = 0

m = 1

b = 0

squared root of 36.1 = 6.00833


y\text{ = }\sqrt[]{x\text{ }}+\text{ b}
