can someone please show me where i went wrong in the following problem... use an appropriate local linear approximation to estimate the value of the given quantity. cos(31*)
y = cos(x)
sqrt(3)/2 = cos(30º)
dy = -sin(x)*dx
dy = -sin(30º)*(pi/180) = (1/2)*(pi/180)
y + dy = cos(x) - sin(x)dx
y + dy = sqrt(3)/2 - (1/2)*(pi/180) = 0.8573
