Linear approximation (or linearization) is a method of estimating a value on a function by placing that value on a tangent line of the function at a nearby value. This approximation can be found with the formula: with being the nearby value, being the exact value, and being the approximation. Since a tangent line is being used, accuracy decreases the further apart and are. A linear approximation is a Taylor approximation of the first degree.
