Compare the values of ∆y and dy if y = f (x) = x3+x2−x+2 and x changes
(a) from 2 to 2.06 and
(b) from 2 to 2.01
Do you remember the definitions? Recall thatQuote:

and
$\displaystyle \Delta x =dx$
In problem a) you have
$\displaystyle x=2 \quad \Delta x =0.06$
$\displaystyle \Delta y =f(2.06)-f(2)$
$\displaystyle dy = f'(2)\cdot (0.06)$
