Question
The function$$L(x)=\frac{1}{4} x+\frac{4 \pi-\sqrt{27}}{12}$$is the linear approximation of $f(x)=\arctan x$ about what point $x=a$ ?
Step 1
Step 1: Recall that the linear approximation of a function \( f(x) \) about a point \( x = a \) is given by the formula: \[ L(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x - a) \] Show more…
