Approximation of a differentiable function.












0












$begingroup$


If $Doverset{f}{rightarrow}mathbb{C}$ is differentiable in $x_0$ $(Dsubseteqmathbb{R})$, the closer one gets to $x_0$ the smaller the difference between the linear function $l_{x_{0}}(x)=f(x_0)+f'(x_0)(x-x_0)$ gets. The Approximation is defined as:



$$begin{align}
r_{x_{0}}(x) &:=f(x)-l_{x_{0}}(x)\
&=f(x)-f(x_0)-f'(x_0)(x-x_0) \
&=left(frac{f(x)-f(x_0)}{x-x_0}-f'(x_0)right)(x-x_0)
end{align}$$



How does one conclude that the left factor on the very Right side converges to $0$.



And how does one conclude by that that



$lim_{xrightarrow x_0}frac{r_{x_{0}}(x)}{x-x_0}=0$

    the limit of the left factor is zero by definition of derivative at $x_0$

  • $begingroup$
    You divide by $(x-x_0)$ both sides and use the fact that that left factor converges to zero
