Using differentials find the approximate...

Using differentials find the approximate value of `tan46^0,` if it is being given that `1^0=0. 01745` radians.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given
`f(x)=tanx`
Then`f'(x)=sec^2x`
Now,`f(x+Deltax)-f(x)=f'(x)Deltax`
`f(x+Deltax)-f(x)=(sec^2x)Deltax`
Taking `x=45^o=(pi/5)^o`
and `Delta=1^o 0.01745`
`f(46^o)-f(45)=(sec^2x)(0.01745)`
...
