Laboratory Project: Taylor Polynomials: Question 4: Approximating Square Roots (DTube)

in #dtube7 years ago (edited)


In this video I go over Question 4 of the Laboratory Project: Taylor Polynomials and this time go over an example on approximating a square root function using the quadratic approximation notation from Question 3. The function I approximate is (x + 3)^(1/2) which is also the same function I approximated using linear approximation several years ago. Using the notation from Question 1, using (x – a) and at values near a = 1, I show that the quadratic approximation is better than the linear approximation, again as expected. I graph the function as well as the linear and quadratic approximations, as well as develop a spreadsheet to show that near or far from x = a = 1, the quadratic approximation is more accurate than the linear. This is a very good example to get a firm grip on the quadratic approximation method, which as I will show in later parts of this project, is the basis of higher order approximations known as Taylor Polynomials; so make sure to watch this video!

@mes Wow you got some amazing content on your blog... Math, crytos, recent news, and overall just great stuff! Keep it up. Also, which alt coins are some sleepers to watch out for?

THANKS MFA! I'm thinking Coss and Cobinhood because they are tied to exchanges. But really the real sleeper is still STEEM! Going to $1k this year. #YouHeardItHereFirst

I don’t always approximate square roots but when I do I usually use quadratic approximation because it is more accurate than linear approximation ;)

Je te souhaite le bonheur, le bonheur et la longévité dans la vie mes Ça vaut bien mon vote

Hello I loved your video , I also make video on my channel . Can you help me and telling me how can I do better video please ?

Thanks for asking! What kind of videos do you make? If you want to make videos like mine, you just need: A Microsoft Surface Pro 1/2/3/ or 4, Microsoft OneNote, an external Mic, and a recording program (I use BandiCam on my Surface Pro 3).
