This tangent line (or linear approximation) can be used to approximate values for the function near
the point of tangency.
-example 1- Find the linear approximation to f(x)=√√2x+1 at x = 4, then use it to approximate
the value of f(4.2).
*Now, use your linear approximation to estimate the value of √8.6.
