1 Linear Approximations

2 In this section we’re going to take a look at an application not of derivatives but of the tangent line to a function. Of course, to get the tangent line we do need to take derivatives, so in some way this is an application of derivatives as well. Take a look at the following graph of a function and its tangent line.
