Equation for linear approximation?
The general equation for a linear approximation is f(x) ≈ f(x0) + f'(x0)(x-x0) where f(x0) is the value of the function at x0 and f'(x0) is the derivative at x0. This describes a tangent line used to approximate the function. In higher order functions, the same concept can be applied. f(x,y) ≈ f(x0,y0) + fx(x0,y0)(x-x0) + fy(x0,y0)(y-y0) where f(x0,y0) is the value of the function at (x0,y0), fx(x0,y0) is the partial derivative with respect to x at (x0,y0), and fy(x0,y0) is the partial derivative with respect to y at (x0,y0). This describes a tangent plane used to approximate a surface.
Prove that a constant vector always has a perpendicular derivative?
A dot A = A2 do a derivative of both sides derivative (A) dot A + A dot derivative(A) =0 2(derivative (A) dot A)=0 (derivative (A) dot A)=0 A * derivative (A) * cos (theta) =0 => theta =90 A and derivative (A) are perpendicular
