What do you mean by small in describing the closeness of x to point of interest?

I don't know the context of this question, because it really does matter what this is used for. Small is a relative word. If the numbers you're dealing with are like 0.1 or 0.2, if you're off by, say, 10, that's big. But if the numbers you're working with are large like one million, 10 isn't such a big deal. This is a very tough question. If you're doing something like limits (this is for calculus right?), then you want to be infintesimally close to the point. I would ask your teacher.

What are the limitations of using newton-raphson method?
There are several limitations to the Newton-Raphson method (N-R).1. The method relies on the use of the derivative of the function whose root is being sought. If the function is not differentiable then N-R cannot be used. Even if the derivative exists, it may not be calculable analytically. In that case N-R may require huge amounts of effort or prove to be impossible.2. If there is a stationary point in the vicinity of the root, the derivative will become 0 at that point and attempted division by zero will stop N-R. Even if the iteration does not actually hit the stationary point, the rounding errors due to division by a very small number can lead to very large errors in the N-R calculations.3. If the first derivative is ill-behaved in the neighbourhood of the root then N-R can overshoot. For example, f(x) = |x|^a where 0 < a < 1/2.4. A poor starting point for the N-R iteration can lead to non-convergence.5. Where a root has a multiplicity greater than 1, then convergence will be slow (unless appropriate adjustments are made to N-R).
Where does the name calculus came from?
The term calculus comes directly from Latin. In Latin a calculus (noun) is a small stone used for counting, much like the beads on an abacus. One of the fundamental uses for modern calculus is integration, which is of course addition of infinitely small sections.
What is the value of 1- cos x when x is small?
1 - cos x as x approaches 0. what is the cos of 0? It is 1. So as x approaches 0 cos x approaches 1. 1 - 1 = 0 So as it gets very small the solutions gets smaller.
Finding the limit in calculus?
To find the limit in calculus, you are trying to get as close as possible to the "real" answer of the problem.You are not actually finding the "true" answer of the problem, but rather the boundaries of the "limit" (infinity) of the number based on the lower limit, and upper limit of your graph. That's not true. Limits are a precisely defined concept. At least, if you know what the context is then they are. Since you mentioned calculus, I'm going to assume you're interested in the definition of a derivative. First, some notation. For any number x, the term |x| means the absolute value of x. So |3|=3, |-5|=5, |-2.7|=2.7, |7.8|=7.8, etc. Suppose f:R->R. Then f'(p), the derivative of f at p (if it exists) is defined as: lim { (f(p+h)-f(p))/h }h->0 What does this actually mean? The intuition is this: the smaller h is, the closer (f(p+h)-f(p))/h gets to the derivative.* We say (f(p+h)-f(p))/h tends to f'(p) as h tends to 0. In other words, we can make the difference| { (f(p+h)-f(p))/h } - f'(p) |as small as we want, just by forcing h to be small. More formally: For any positive real number e, there is a positive real d such that, for any real h with |h| | { (f(p+h)-f(p))/h } - f'(p) | < e. The derivative f'(p) is defined as the only real number with this property. You can never have more than one number with this property. There might not be any, in which case the function f is not differentiable at p.* The intuition here is as follows: (p+h,f(p+h)) is a point on the curve close to (p,f(p)), the point we are interested in. The line between these points (let's call it L) is almost the same as the tangent to the curve (T), and its gradient is almost the gradient of the tangent (which is the derivative). But the gradient of L is(f(p+h)-f(p))/hand therefore this quantity is close to f'(p). Another way Think about a curve on a sheet of paper on a X-Y graph. If you are interested in the point, say x = a, and you follow the curve from the left of the point going toward the point x=a and arrive at some value, say C, then you follow the curve from the right going toward the point x=a and arrive at a point, again C, then the limit of the function as x->a = c so to find the limit, the limit FROM THE LEFT and the limit FROM THE RIGHT both have to have the same value if lim x-> a of f(x) from the left = lim x -> a of f(x) from the right, and both limits = C then lim x -> a of f(x) = C

Why is it easier to take correction action with an employee in a small organization?
Small companies may find it easier to take corrective actions than large companies because of the closeness of the supervisor to each of the work situations.
How do you level your pet in maple story?
Pets in Maple Story will level up by gaining "closeness" to their owners. One can go about increasing their pet's closeness in the following ways:Giving commandsEach type of pet responds to a specific set of commands, which will sometimes raise their closeness 1-3 points. To know which commands are effective for your pet, talk to Cloy in Henesys Park. Also, note that using some commands requires the pet to be at a certain level.FeedingGiving Pet Food to a pet whose fullness is under 100 occasionally increases its closeness by 1 point. You can also buy breed-specific treats from the Cash Shop to feed your pet, which will increase its closeness by 100 points (per item). The latter, however, costs real money.Pet ParksThere are repeatable jump quests available in Henesys Pet Park and/or Ludibrium Pet Walkway, which require you to deliver a letter from an NPC at the bottom of the map to another NPC at the top via a series of obstacle courses. Your pet is awarded a small amount of closeness upon completion.QuestsSome quests, such as Fanzy the Mysterious Cat or Kenta's Advice, offer closeness as a reward.

What is the average interest rate for a small business loan?
The interest of a small business loan depends on the size of the loan. For loans under $100 000 the interest rate is seven to eight percent and for loans over $100 000 the interest rate is six to seven percent.
