1. (b) m = 1

2. (a) o(h)

(b) O(h)

(c) o(h)

(d) o(h)

(e) o(h)

(f) Neither

3. (b) R_T is O(h) , but not o(h) .

(c) R_S is both o(h) and O(h) .

(d) S is the best affine approximation to f at 9 .

(e) \sqrt{10} \approx S(10) = \dfrac{19}{6} = 3.167 to three decimal places, whereas \sqrt{10} is exactly 3.162 to three decimal places.

5. T(x) = 4(x - 1) + 2 , f'(1) = 4

7. T(x) = x - 1 , f'(0) = 1
