What are approximations? Here, we use the concept of differential to find the approximate value of a function. We can find the values easily with a calculator as well! If y = f(x), we learn the differential of y, and learn the formulae used to calculate the approximate values of y. This video is application oriented. It focuses on solving problems based on the formula. We also learn about absolute error, approximate error and %error. As a teacher, I have found students getting confused about approximate error and actual value of the function.i have explained the difference in the video. So, watch this video to understand approximations. This video is useful for Class 12 Maths students , ISC MATHS, CBSE MATHS and other boards.It is also useful for the NATA (maths) aptitude test for architecture Consider subscribing to my channel for more videos.
