The derivative of the function B is given by B′(t)=8e0.2cost, and B(2.2)=4.5. If the linear approximation to B(t) at t=2.2 is used to estimate B(t), at what value of t does the linear approximation estimate that B(t)=9 ?

Answer:

t=2.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear Approximation Of Functions

The equation of a line is given by

[tex]y=y_o+m(x-x_o)[/tex]

Where m is the slope of the line and [tex](x_o,y_o)[/tex] are the coordinates of a point through which the line goes.

Given a function B(t), we can build an approximate line to model the function near one point. The value of m is the derivative of B in a specific point [tex](t_o, B_o)[/tex]. The equation becomes

[tex]B(t)=B_o+B'(t_o)(t-t_o)[/tex]

Let's collect our data.

[tex]B'(t)=8e^{0.2cost},\ B_o=B(2.2)=4.5[/tex]

Let's find the required values to build the approximate function near [tex]t_0=2.2[/tex]. We evaluate the derivative in 2.2

[tex]B'(2.2)=8e^{0.2cos2.2}=7.11[/tex]

The function can be approximated by

[tex]B(t)=4.5+7.11(t-2.2)[/tex]

Once we have B(t), we are required to find the value of t, such that

[tex]B(t)=9[/tex]

Or equivalently:

[tex]4.5+7.11(t-2.2)=9[/tex]

Rearranging

[tex]\displaystyle t-2.2=\frac{9-4.5}{7.11}[/tex]

Solving for t

[tex]\displaystyle t=\frac{9-4.5}{7.11}+2.2[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{t=2.83}[/tex]
